What Ancient Farmers Had Right About Corn That We Ignore | WIRED

Maize is one of the most widely grown grains in the world. The way that much of it is processed has contributed to making millions of people sick over the past 500 years. Dr. Bill Schindler talks about how our modern approach to corn prioritizes convenience and profit over safety and nutrition. Early farmers discovered a process called nixtamalization that allows the human body access to corn's nutrition, but many of the modern ways that corn is delivered to us skips this process.

This is why traditional foods are so important, there is a reason why cultures have certain main foods combined and fixed certain ways, and it usually has to do with better health. Just because people lived in the country or were poor didn't mean they were stupid way back then. They made do with what was available. Certain foods combined make better nutrition. There was a very popular book about this in the 70's. Hominy is whole corn that has been processed with lye or lime. Masa is flour that has been processed similarly like you say. Both are much healthier. Makes one consider why so many have a corn allergy.

@mikaeljensen4399 3 года назад

No they wheren't stupid because they were poor. They were stupid because they were living in the stoneage about 1000 years ago. Today we have better options. There is a reason why they had to make due. They didn't have better alternatives. Making due is never the optimal solution or it wouldn't be called making due.

@@mikaeljensen4399 listen dope, we actually have made almost 0 progress regarding what our diet should be. The scientific community is split on a million factors in this arena. We do not "know better" now. Now there is more data, more research nowadays to assemble those factors into various conclusions, but better is a subjective word that carries no meaning or weight in this conversation. You could argue in a way we know less because we have buried ourself in arbitrary data and opinions based off the aggregation of this data. That all said the natives had no idea of the health benefits of mixtapes, they did it because it made milling by hand easier. The EU settlers skipped this process because they saw it as a waste of time and money because the EU settlers had animal powered machines to do the milling.

@@mikaeljensen4399 It's not just fiber (as you know) . There are actually supposed to be nutrients in your corn too. Process the corn correctly and it does much more good for your body than clearing out the digestive system. We are not likely to be able to eliminate poverty and the issues that have led to com becoming a staple crop in so many areas, but we can at least process the corn properly so the people eating corn as a main grain source can at least have nourishing food. Also, why spend money on empty calories? There are so many other sources of fiber that provide nutrients too. Fiber is good in healthy amounts, but it's better when other nutrients can be had with it. And, for some of us, corn isn't a good source of fiber we could chose. Let's just say undigested corn chips that weren't chewed super thoroughly aren't nice to have in the system. I would love to have corn my body could even sort of digest.

Can't find corn nixtamalization recipe on your website. Can you tell me where to locate recipe.

Just type Nixtamal on RU-vid, you'll see lots of videos with the instructions

He just forgot to mention that water used in nixtamal is highly polluting

@자시엘 2 года назад

Least of worries. Watching a single video on RU-vid or browsing social media for a few hours is much more polluting.

Many people wonder how great famine killed so many people in NK while global humanitarian aids are arriving at NK and maize production in NK is not that low. This was often used to attack the corruption in NK authority, but while corruptions do exist, but in reality, at the great famine period, food eaten mainly by NK people are actually maize and they just don't know about nixtamalization just like all other east asian countries eating maize. In result, NK people eating maize everyday but still ended dead in starvation and deficient of Vitamin B group (Niacin, Folate, etc.) just like the situation mentioned in this video.

Kept waiting for Dr. Necklace Bro to break out the miracle cure for un-nixtamalized corn: OXICLEAN!!!

They the current farmers genetically modified it so it would increase production and become cheaper which maximizes profits. So like everything else they traded traditional with "modern" and increased profits A LOT!

I just want to point out one of the most controversial gmo projects has been beta carotene infused “golden” rice which has probably saved millions of lives by preventing vitamin b deficiency, so it’s not all bad.

@Inazarab 3 года назад

Not current farmers. Ancient Maya farmers genetically altered the wild variant to create a more useful maize. Selective breeding has been going on for thousands of years. GMO are not new at all, and it is not inherently bad. Like everything it's nuanced.

why would people that buy cheap corn based foods bc they are poor, as the doctor correctly says, buy a more expensive version of the same food?

@cileft011 3 года назад

masa isn't expensive though? a bag of masa which is nixtamalized corn flour costs the same as the corn flour that isn't nixtamalized

Except nixtamalizing every grain of corn wouldn't lead to any help in the food supply, since that corn goes into ethanol for gasoline, or into High Fructose Corn Syrup.

@justthisguy2976 3 года назад

Just like his prior video about the meat industry, he makes a bunch of very scientific and provable sounding claims and proceeds to not cite a single source of scientific study to back any of it up. Pellagra appears almost exclusively in the developing world, mostly Sub-Saharan Africa, in people who's diet consists almost entirely of corn... But sure, we should completely change the way we process one of the biggest sources of nutrition in the Western world... Regardless of what that would do to the cost and viability of said product. This guys whole shpiel is telling you how ancient cultures had food right and we have it wrong because it ties into his personal businesses.

@Saul1913 3 года назад

Sounds like you don't like the fact that he kind of shitted on western methods of processing maize.

@mikaeljensen4399 3 года назад

@@Saul1913 You mean the method of not processing it because we don't need to because we have access to a stable source of meat, nuts, vegetables and mushrooms through industrialisation. Sure processing you main source of food in order to provide more nutrients and energy because you don't even have access to steel tools make sense. We have access to steel tool as well as dozen different domesticated animals and electrical tools and tractors, etc. which enables us to produce extreme amounts of food of an absurd variety. Industrialised nations do not have a problem with vitamin B3 because there are thousands of sources of vitamin B3 readily available to anyone at a cheap price.
