Iron deficiency is the most common cause of anaemia, which affects more than 40 per cent of children under five and a third of expectant mothers globally.
Corn is a huge part of agricultural output, at least in the US. It also holds a huge cultural significance in many cuisines. 80 million acres in the US are dedicated to corn, which produced a third of a billion tonnes of corn. Corn production in the US nets billions in federal subsidies.
You can both be right. In America we use A LOT of corn (syrup or otherwise) in our dishes. This just reminds me of when we added Iodine to our salt. A recognition that we can supliment necessary vitamims/minerals/etc.

Tell me again how corn doesn’t matter?
Pretty simple, you’re not telling the full story of the statistics.
About 40% of corn produced is for biofuels
36% is used as animal feed
Furthermore, the US exported nearly $20 billion dollars worth of said corn for 2021.
Much of the corn usage in food is for high fructose corn syrup, which, as you can imagine, is different from eating sweet corn for dinner.
Corn isn’t used primarily for feeding people, it’s for fuel, animal feed, and garbage additives. Change my mind please.

Where do you think the remaining 24% goes? Up into smoke?
