Corn is one of the few plants that synthesizes Carbon in the form of C4, most plants form C3. (Sorry can't do subscripts in blogger comments). This makes corn more efficient than other plants and able to survive with little water and in high heat. C4 usually contains a higher frequency of the isotope 13C. What they find is the same frequency of 13C in human hair and skin.Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14914637175040341245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10162381.post-2569076040645828732007-10-31T16:19:00.000-04:002007-10-31T16:19:00.000-04:00Luckily I never get trick-or-treaters...I was curi...Luckily I never get trick-or-treaters...<BR/><BR/>I was curious, after seeing the movie, whether other meat products (pork, chicken) are also fed this corn crap. I'm guessing they are. <BR/><BR/>I was also curious about how they measured the amount of corn in a person - proteins or some other markers - and what the biological process was for the corn to get there.<BR/><BR/>I could have done with a little less of watching the corn growing.<BR/><BR/>But yeah, I guess wanting to know more is a sign of a good documentary.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01622077585747225335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10162381.post-88120792872633991502007-10-31T11:56:00.000-04:002007-10-31T11:56:00.000-04:00http://www.iggysbread.com/http://www.iggysbread.com/Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14914637175040341245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10162381.post-81487776788022599632007-10-31T10:37:00.000-04:002007-10-31T10:37:00.000-04:00Try finding bread that doesn't contain HFCS, it's ...Try finding bread that doesn't contain HFCS, it's difficult.
