Carbon, Corn & Genetics - How GMO Corn Genetically Transforms Your Gut & Brain

Welcome to Season Two of Food Slain! In this season, we're digging deeper into food from a health, environmental and scientific perspective. If you haven't listened to Episode 9 of Season One, called "No Children of This Corn", where we dig into GMO corn, aka "contraceptive corn", go check it out here. It's the precursor to this episode.

Because today, I’m talking to a guy with a PhD in Chemical Biology who breaks down the science behind corn, and how it impacts our genetic sequence as carbon based beings, how it impacts our gut microbiota (our 1st brain) and why it's essential that we make better food choices.

It’s fascinating and I am glad you’re here. Please welcome, Tanei the Science Guy.
