Corn is it bad? Is it good?

For decades, we’ve been told that fortifying our food supply with folic acid is a public health win. But what if that one-size-fits-all approach is quietly harming a significant portion of the population?

In this video, I break down what’s really happening with corn-based foods and the widespread addition of synthetic folic acid. While folic acid is often presented as essential, many people carry genetic variations that make it difficult or even impossible to properly convert this synthetic form into its usable state, methylfolate.

Instead of nourishing the body, unmetabolized folic acid can build up in the system, potentially interfering with natural biological processes. And when this compound is added to staple foods like corn products, it means millions of people are consuming it daily whether they realize it or not.

This raises a bigger question about our food system. When did we decide that fortifying processed foods with synthetic nutrients was better than producing real, nutrient-dense food from healthy soil? And who is this system really serving?

This is not about fear. It’s about awareness, personal responsibility, and reclaiming sovereignty over what we put into our bodies.

If you’ve ever felt like something in the modern food system isn’t adding up, you’re not alone.
