THE HEALTH CONNECTION

Corn-dependent societies have traditionally suffered from pellagra, a disease caused by severe protein and mineral deficiencies. Native American Indians knew how to treat corn to improve its nutritional value by processing it with lime or ashes and planting it next to beans, which supply the very proteins lacking in corn. So smile the next time you eat tortillas and beans. You are eating some very inexpensive protein.
