Corn makes you fat and other non-truths (july 1, 2008)


Yesterday afternoon, my office had a lady come in to talk about type II Diabetes and weight loss. The lady was not a nutritionist, doctor or anything other than a peson who eats in an Adkins-Like fashion. Her story was pretty good. Her husband was in very bad shape... He was 80 pounds over weight, was diabetic and on tons of medications. So he went on a low carb diet and lost a bunch of weight and was able to stop taking the majority of his meds. The only thing that annoyed me about this lady was that she said "Don't ever eat corn, corn makes you fat". I had a really really hard time not responding with "Lady, I really don't think your husband was fat from eating corn..."
