at the 138th
was exposed
national meet
ing of the American Chemical
society by the three chemists
who found it lurking in the
reproductive chemistry of the
corn plant.
It is a chemical trap which
grabs the niacin the plant
makes and binds it in such a
way it can't be used by the
nutritional chemistry of crea
tures who feed on corn. The
most notable of these is man.
Niacin, sometimes called
nicotinic acid, is an essential
vitamin. Any consistent de
privation of niacin results in

pellagra, which at Its full
blown stage cripples the
mind, the nervous system, and
the digestion.
Although America is the
most corn-fed nation on earth,
pellagra hardly exists among
Americans because their diet
has many foods in-it and they
get their niacin from other
foods. But only a few decades
ago pellagra was a problem
In some sections of the south
where large numbers lived
chiefly on corn.
Most Deceptive
Since corn is among the
most attractive of foods, the
discovery of its trap makes it
the most deceptive. It has pro
tein, vitamins, sugars, fats
it has everything nutritional
ly good except usable niacin.
Hogs and cattle flourish on
all-corn diets, and so do peo
ple, for a time.
The taste is wonderful and
It grows abundantly with rel
atively little effort in all
kinds of soils and climates.
When the white man first
came to the Americas he
found large native popula
tions subsisting principally
on corn and ancient, well
established civilizations which
were corn-based.
Yet these populations and
civilizations were conquered
without any tremendous try
ing by adventurers who in
numbers were small bands
compared to the numbers
iViov nut under their heels.
The historical implication of
todays scientific revelation
oo thai fhinirs would have
turned out differently if the
conquered had had ample
niacin in their diets.
Chemical Bonds Broken
The corn trap was discover
ed by Drs. D. D. Christcnson,
.T s Wall and R. J. Dimler
of the U.S. Department of
Agriculture's researcn laoora
tories at Peoria, 111. By break
ing the chemical bonds, they
released a thousand times
more niacin than was freely

On diets deficient in niacin,

poor. When free niacin was

Christenson said he want

which is a dietary staple
among Indians of some sec
tions of Central America. It
is a thin cake of corn meal
slowly cooked on heated iron
or stone. The pellagra rate
among heavy tortilla eaters is
believed to be much lower
than heavy eaters of corn in
other forms. He thought the
tortilla makers must do some
