There's nothing like a good deal to go of maize corn on the COB on your summer barbecue or your butter popcorn along with your favorite movie, right? Or wrong?
This question seems to be coming up often more and more...
Are Isabel, corn and food made from corn on the DSP allowed?
Well, the answer is Yes, but there are a few details you need to know first (you thought I just wanted to leave it to that did you?)
It is approximated was genetically modified approximately 60% of the corn, now in the United States (though, I think, this figure is now higher). The practice of genetic change maize began in an attempt, corn harvest to make resistant against certain pesticides. This helps the farmer because you are then able to grow a bigger crop it easier to combat pests (can spray crops with pesticides and without damaging their harvest to get rid of insects).
Sweet corn is also genetically (now called BT maize) changed so that it produces a poison that kills insect pests. This means that farmers have to fight no more insects with insecticides.
Although some of these sounds like a good thing (especially if you are a farmer!), we must now examine how the GMO foods in our bodies react and what kind of long-term impact you can have on our health.
Now, the introduction of GMO foods is still relatively new, we are in a way that is used as a "Guinea pig" in a massive experiment (ugh!). In April 2007, Arpad Pusztai, of the Rowett Research Institute in Aberdeen, UK, announced that experiments had shown intestinal changes in rats caused by eating genetically designed potatoes (and I don't know about you, but I'm not happy about someone trying to mess with my intestines).
This fact is not surprising me. It's amazing to me, how many people are now complaining about things like irritable bowel syndrome and other nagging digestive problems. I'm not saying that that is only cause for these conditions, but I'm sure eat GMO foods, it is an important factor (along with processed foods, but that's a story for another day).
OK, so what if you can not-GM maize get? (It is difficult to know, what brands and items are GMO and which are not) where adapts your DSP meal plan as corn?
Your body reads corn as a grain of sand, no vegetables first, so if you are to include it in your meals, this will the grain (carbohydrate) for your meal. So with corn and brown rice would have 2 grains in a meal. This is not necessarily off limits and not "bad" in any way, only weight consider if you are someone who is sensitive to grains, you lose more quickly by significantly reducing the number of grains eat every day. You can take to 2-3 weeks and follow "no grain" meal plans in the diet solution manual and see if that helps break all weight loss plateau and/or help your digestive system.
What about microwave popcorn?
The organic varieties contain preservatives (of course, to keep you in the Pocket) and have been shown, to contain the same chemical coating in your pocket, on non-stick Cookware (double YIKES!) is used. I would stay away from this stuff.
How about air popped popcorn?
This is your best bet and can be used in any case as an occasional snack. But note I said "sometimes". Keep in mind most people lose weight faster by many grains reduce (not necessarily elimination). Snacking on popcorn every day might and probably will be, hinder your weight loss efforts.
I hope this information helps you to make a more informed decision for your next barbecue and your next movie night. Keep in mind that corn is not off limits by any means, keep in mind you're looking for the no GMO varieties and including it as a grain and no vegetables in your meal plans.
