Hi Wayne,
Thanks for the input . . . I tried my usual Tostito's a few days after the Frito experience, and got the same reaction, so that's what confirmed corn intolerence for me. I do suspect some of those oils, though, just like you mentioned.

Hi Marsha,
That looks like pretty conclusive evidence, alright. I have to admit that while I don't have any "significant" symptoms, as I mentioned in my previous post, I do seem to have a slight nagging problem with very minor D, and an occasional slight headache, after I eat significant amounts of corn. Consequently, I too, am probably gonna hafta quit eatin' the durn stuff, again. Sigh. Besides, it's making me fat.

P S Incidentally, speaking of fat, I forgot to comment on your observation that wild animals don't get fat, in another thread. Actually, they do get fat, but the fat isn't marbled throughout their muscle tissue, the way it is with prime rib, from a feedlot steer. Normally, it's deposited just under their skin, especially on their backsides, and it serves as insulation. If you butcher a mule deer from cold country, in the fall, you will find a layer of fat at least one and a half to two inches thick, when you peel the hide off, over the rump. Virtually all wild animals have that fat layer, unless the're underfed--it's just much more pronounced in the colder climates.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
Kathy,
Hahahaha. The feedlot animals have been selectively bred for that characteristic, simply because it's the way that USDA defines the "Prime" classification.
Fat is deposited in various places in the bodies of other animals, not just on the back, under the hide. Some goes to body organs, and the abdominal cavity. Many animals, (mostly overfed pets), have most of the fat deposited around the middle of the torso and the hips.
Men tend to collect fat around their middles, in and outside their abdominal cavities, while women are prone to fat deposits in their hips and thighs, as we all know. Not being a cannibal, I will have to guess that human muscle tissue is not very well marbled with fat, but there is probably some slight degree of scattered marbling. Maybe Polly can shed some light on this.
Women, of course temd to have a thicker insulating layer of fat under the skin than men, as a rule

Insulation layer! Thats what it is!
I actually lost a 1/2 inch off my waist recently (I think in the last day or two. But I think its "settling" of stuff in there as the pelvic cavity heals following surgery. But I feel a tad skinnier this week. Maybe I will be able to wear my jeans again some day!
