There are a lot of other interesting food facts out there, especially how our food has changed dramatically in the last few thousand years. People consider vegetables and fruits as healthy because they fall under those categories, yet we have completely altered the levels of sugar and other factors to make them more marketable and desirable. For example, wild bananas required a machete to open and had such large seeds and low sugar content that no one really ate them. Another example is corn, the original corn had 5-12 kernels per cob and was in a hard shell as hard as an acorn, it was high in starch not sweet at all, around 2% sugar and 20% protein. The corn in the store today is 2-4% protein and up to 40% sugar. So just because you are eating a vegetable doesn't necessarily mean it is healthy.
