How Many Things Have You Dipped In Corn?


The True Facts Of Ketchup...


Have you ever thought of how many things you dip in ketchup or use with ketchup? Chicken nuggets, fries, chicken strips, eggs, hashbrowns, burgers, hot dogs, etc. This one wonderful thing that many people enjoy as a sauce contains a plant that is taking over all foods: corn. Ketchup contains corn syrup meaning we are consuming fattening contents that could possibly make us obese. Trying to eat a food that is enjoyable, healthy and does not contain corn is almost impossible because of its increasing popularity in our favorite treats. The inevitable is arriving and it is becoming more and more difficult to resist the tempting corn ingredient.

Dipped in Corn to Our Mouths: French Fries

The Surprising Discovery about French Fries


Something shocked me today while I was looking for foods that contained some form of corn on it.  If you know me, you know that I love french fries. I really do. Yet, of course, it was victim to the rule of corn, one of the largest food domination that's taking over the world, and- apparently our bodies. Though, not a direct ingredient of french fries, these potato strings are cooked in vegetable oil containing corn.

         
"In fact, corn oil is the most popular frying oil used for cooking french fries at major fast food outlets. Researchers found that 69% of national fast food restaurant chains serve french fries containing corn oil, compared to only 20% of small-business restaurants."

I was mind-blown. One of my favorite foods had to succumb to the power of corn. And let me just tell you- it is what the name says- corn oil is made purely of corn. So what we're basically eating are fried potato strings latched with grains of corns melted on the outside of it. Very interesting- and yet weird at the same time.

So, I can infer that since many fast food restaurants use this oil to make the french fries, it's safe to assume that the ingredients came from the industrial food chain. The chain starts in a giant field, usually in the Midwest, where one type of crop is grown- such as corn- and ends up in a supermarket or fast-food outlet. Since many businesses want to earn profit and get corn that's tastier, more better, and less cheaper, they most likely buy the hybrid corns or the ones that are genetically modified. I mean hey- do you see McDonald saying that their french fries are "organic?" If they are, tell me, I'm going to buy me some french-fries tomorrow. Let's face it, corn infested or not- we're sill going to love these addicting, delicious potato strings for years to come.


Dr. Valoy With The Interesting Truth

     Apparently, there is something that's surprising, but I think some of you already knew about it. Do you know how many soft drinks contain high-fructose corn syrup? Well, fruit punch contains this ingredient and I wonder if it affects the taste of it.
     First, lets go way back to how corn is grown. According to "The Omnivore's Dilemma", there are four different food chains. The different food chains are Industrial, which is  when a single crop that is grown in a giant field, Industrial Organic, which is similar to Industrial, but grown with natural fertilizer, Local Sustainable, which is grown locally on farms and Hunter-Gatherer, which is hunting for food. These can be different ways to grow corn. On farms, they can breed corn for specific traits that can help them grow. Then, there were scientists who added genes in the DNA of corn. Some farmers didn't agree to this most likely because it wasn't natural. So it's cool how this kind of corn can be in soft drinks, such as fruit punch, and we don't taste it.
     Many other drinks and foods contain this ingredient, but you usually don't taste that specific ingredient directly. Maybe corn syrup does affect the taste of drinks that we usually drink. 

 This is the Fruit Punch.

Cup a soup ~ Dr. Flores

        So I ate some cup of soup again like always. I love soup, especially chicken flavor cup a soup. Ramen is the best. And it has corn which is obviously because their is vegetables in the soup and in the pictures below it shows the type of cup of soup and of course the ingredients. The soup tasted delicious but I also wanted to address the question as well. Corn came from either hybrid seeds or breed corn seeds which give time and the proper method of growing the crops then its starts to be fertilized or takes out. When its being processed its chemicalized and changed in order to mixed with the other chemicals and ingredients so that the flavor will come out well. But in my soup bits of corn that was dried out and put into these cups filled with dried noddles and other dried vegetables. But when you put water and put it in the microwave for 2-3 minutes; it tastes delicious. 

P.S. I burned my tongue when i was eating soup so be extra careful . It tastes delicious but burns so much it's painful.
