Corn is an inflammatory food although corn is also anti-inflammatory as well.
Corn is high in omega 6 fatty acids, which can promote inflammation in the body when the corn is consumed in excess amounts.
The corn oil is also a common source of omega 6 fatty acids and can also contribute to inflammation.
Processed corn food products like tortillas and corn chips often have high levels of refined carbohydrates and unhealthy them, which can also trigger inflammation in the body.
Corn is also anti-inflammatory as corn is a good source of fiber, which can help to reduce inflammation in the body by promoting healthy gut bacteria.
Corn also contains antioxidants, like lutein and zeaxanthin, which also have anti-inflammatory properties.
And some studies also have shown that certain extracts from corn, like sweet corn extract, may also have anti-inflammatory effects.
Corn also can't grow in the wild because corn is a human made crop, which depends on human intervention for propagation.
Ancient people also selectively bred the wild grass, teosinte, over thousands of years to create the corn with larger and softer kernels and a structure in which the kernels cling tightly to the cob.
This means that the corn kernels have to be manually removed from the cob and then planted to grow, and without the human assistance, the corn would not survive or grow and produce.
Corn is man made and does not exist naturally.
Corn is a man made crop and was domesticated from the wild grass called teosinte through thousands of years of selective breeding by indigenous people in Mexico.
Today's corn does not exist wildly in the wild and corn relies on human cultivation to survive.
Teosinte which is a grass is the wild ancestor of corn.
Ancient farmers around 9,000 years ago began to cultivate the teosinte.
The teosinte ears were also small, with only a few kernels far apart, unlike the corn we know and eat today.
And over many generations, farmers also bred teosinte plants with desirable traits, like larger ears with more kernels.
The process of the artificial selection also transformed the corn plant into a more useful and productive food source.
And modern corn is also a product of the long process of domestication and is a crop which cannot survive on it's own in the wild.
