If you are what you eat, and especially if you eat industrial food, as 99 percent of Americans do, what you are is “corn.” During the last year I’ve been following a bushel of corn through the industrial food system. What I keep finding in case after case, if you follow the food back to the farm — if you follow the nutrients, if you follow the carbon — you end up in a corn field in Iowa, over and over and over again.
Key Takeaways:
- Researchers at the University of Oxford have demonstrated that the diets of organisms can affect the DNA sequences of their genes.
- In a study on two groups of parasites, the team detected differences in DNA sequences that could be attributed to the composition of their food.
- Our hypothesis was that the composition of this food could alter an organism’s DNA.
