, It would be interesting to find out about food storage. I was ALARMED

last year to see large mountains of corn sitting alongside the highway in

vast mounds for many many many months. Not in a silo, just piled along the

highway near the RR tracks, simply covered with an array of tarps. Was the

mountains of corn food grade corn meant for human consumption? Or feed? Or

biofuel? or ? I don't know.

Jeri,

I grew up in Illinois on a grain farm. When the grain elevators run

out of storeage bins because the trains can't move it out fast

enough they store it on the ground like you saw.

Yes, it can and will grow mold if it gets wet, meaning the moisture

content increases above a certain threshold (don't remember

what that is). It is carefully monitored so corn with too much

moisture can be run through dryers so it won't spoil when in the

silos. If mold begins to grow before it is dried then drying stops

the growth but isn't designed to remove the mold growth and

spores.

A lot of corn is used as cattle feed and now for ethanol. I don't

know what, if anything, food processors do to remove mold or the

mycotoxins. I do know there are limits to the mycotoxin levels for

foods but in my opinion they are too high. Sort of like the

allowable amounts of dirt, bugs, insects, rodent hair and rodent

droppings which are allowable in " safe, clean " food. Or the

amount of e-coli allowed in water and still be consider " pure. "

So we can be reactive to either the corn itself, or mold on the

corn, or the allergens and toxins from the allowable level of

impurities, or all the above. No wonder managing our condition

can be so incredibly difficult, if not impossible at times.
