Although most folks think of corn as a vegetable, it's actually a high starch grain. And you may be surprised to know that it has very little health benefit compared to other produce, which is why we don't really eat much of it anymore in our house.

If you're eating the standard modern diet full of processed food and artificial ingredients; you're putting toxins in your body faster than it can eliminate them. These unnatural chemical and mineral compounds are accumulating in all the tissues of your body, and have been for most of your life. Over time these toxins accumulate inside you until there is a tipping point at which your body is so overloaded that essential systems and functions begin to break down. This is why periodic deliberate detoxing is critical.
