Is America’s most favorite vegetable even healthy? In this podcast, we’re going to talk about America’s favorite vegetable. Can you guess what it is?

Corn is America’s favorite vegetable. It's debatable whether corn is an actual vegetable, or grain, or fruit. I personally don’t consider it a vegetable. The problem with corn is that it’s not very high in nutrients. It also doesn’t have a lot of fatty acids or amino acids. The other big problem is that 93% of corn in the United States is GMO

The two versions of GMO corn:

• Herbicide tolerant - Resists glyphosate (roundup ready corn)

• BT - The corn is basically an insecticide

0:29.0	Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Kito and Interminute fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. Can you guess America's favorite vegetable? Corn? Now it's debatable
0:50.7	whether corn is an actual vegetable or a grain or actually a fruit, if you look at the different definitions of it.
0:59.0	But I don't think it's a vegetable because vegetables are like the leaves and stems of plants.
1:05.4	But regardless of that, corn has a couple issues with it. Number one, it's pretty low in nutrients.
1:10.7	Like if you take 100 grams of of fresh corn it's 4%
1:15.0	vitamin A 6% vitamin C 2% iron and 0% calcium they're just not a lot of nutrients
1:22.2	in corn.
1:23.0	And of course when people are eating corn, they're not usually eating fresh corn.
1:26.0	They're doing either corn chips or popcorn or something made with cornstarch.
1:32.0	But corn is just in so many foods at the grocery

1:48.2	GMO you have H.T and BT. H.T. would be herbicide tolerant.
1:53.0	So if you grow corn and you spray Roundup ready,
1:57.4	which is glyphosate, on the corn, it kills the weeds,
2:01.1	but it doesn't kill the corn because the corn is resistant to the herbicide.
2:06.0	Now, BT is slightly different.
2:08.0	The actual corn kernel is an insecticide, so when the insects eat it, they die. That's what's making up this 90% of the corn-grown in the US.
2:17.6	And the majority of this is fed to animals.
2:23.0	Of course, we then eat the animals, so we get it indirectly.
