American Bodies Are Majority Corn Due to Carbon Isotope Analysis of Hair

What was said

"If you took a lock of human hair in America right now, you could determine how much of the carbon in that hair, and therefore in that person's body, came from corn. And I forget what the figure was, but it was like a majority. We are corn walking in the United States."

Pollan describes scientific analysis showing Americans' bodies are composed primarily of carbon derived from corn, not diverse food sources. This revelation demonstrates how monoculture agriculture and corn-based processed food ingredients have fundamentally altered human body composition in ways most people don't recognize. The finding provides stark physical evidence of industrial food system dominance.
