I am going to believe in John Hopkins, Mayo Clinic, Harvard Medical, and other universities over "One Guy". (Who is he anyway? And why did he think it needed to be reclassified? Really curious..)
Such a lively discussion over..... CORN!   
Okay wanna tackle the Tomato fruit or Veggie Aurgument?   |
No, tomatos are fruits. And I didn't say corn was new, I said science was new. You can talk until you're blue in the face, I like to stay cutting edge with my info.
On the upside, I'm about to chaw down on some corn on the cob, yummy style, with my boca burrito - boca burrito with mixed greens in it, the tortilla lovingly fried in just a smidge of coconut oil...I'm so rad...
