Oops, you got me on the Splenda. Otherwise, no, I don't. I am very strictly low carb. OK, very occasionally I do cheat. I am of the opinion that corn is not really human food. ;)
There was a very interesting finding a number of years ago, involving ancient indian skeletons found in an area that had been populated from pre-corn to post-corn diets (in the Americas). Pre-corn the bones showed little evidence of certain diseases (going from memory here, so I may not get the exactly right) like arthritis. Post corn, those things showed up in goodly numbers. I think the point was that corn became the major part of the diet.
Anyway, our diets in this country do indeed consist of lots of corn, so you had a good shot of being right in your post to me. :)

I am hoping that ethanol (from corn) will become so important as a fuel, that corn will stop being used as an additive in food. (Fat chance of that) LOL! Interesting about the Indians.
