Is Corn Responsible For Joint Pain

Research shows that some foods have an enormous impact on the level of inflammation and joint pain you experience. They increase or decrease muscle and joint pain in rheumatoid arthritis.

It is important for you to pinpoint which foods are causing an increase in inflammation and joint pain.

Corn has been identified as an inflammatory agent. Derivatives of corn (such as corn meal, corn flour, corn syrup and corn oil) have also inflammatory properties.

Corn gets caught red-handed

In 1981, the British Medical Journal reported the strange case of a woman whose doctors were able to connect her rheumatoid arthritis with her consumption of corn products. When corn was removed from her diet, the woman who suffered from joint pain for the past 25 years slowly became healthy. Six weeks after her remarkable recovery, she again began to suffer from joint pain. The doctors were initially puzzled, but later discovered that the cook was using corn starch in order to prepare her food. After thoroughly eliminating corn from her diet, her joint pain again disappeared, never to return.

Since this case, several triggers to arthritic pain have been identified. They include:

• Corn
• Wheat
• Eggs
• Potatoes
• Tomatoes
• Nuts
• Coffee

Why corn causes joint pain

Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)is an omega-3 fatty acid found in many common vegetables, beans, and fruits. It is also found in flax, canola, wheat germ, and walnut oils. Diets rich in animal fats and corn encourage the incorporation of unhelpful fats into the cell membranes rather than ALA. These fats exhaust the enzymes which would otherwise have absorbed ALA. This causes inflammation. A strict change in diet gradually changes the fats present within the cell membranes.

This is also why fast foods, prepackaged meals, white flour and processed grains cause joint pain. Sugar causes a spike in the blood sugar which triggers joint pain.

Many baked foods and snacks contain corn. They are high in harmful omega-6 fatty acids. While they are delicious, they more often than not result in inflammation.

Foods which counter inflammation  

1. Dark, leafy vegetables like spinach and kale fight inflammation because they are rich in anti-oxidants.

2. Turmeric is delicious and contains anti-inflammatory properties.

3. Flaxseed is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are anti-inflammatory.

4. Blueberries are rich in antioxidants and are tasty as well.

5. Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cabbage are also rich in antioxidants. They have a natural detoxifying effect on the body.   

6. Chia seeds contain high concentration of omega-3 fatty acids.

7. Avocados contain high amounts of carotenoids which are known to fight inflammation. They also contain monounsaturated fat which is relatively easy to digest.
