The history of corn is unknown, but the plant spread by trade throughout the American continents. The New World peoples depended upon this grain as a staple. But a diet built around corn can cause a severe medical problem, pellagra. Pellagra is a vitamin deficiency disease caused by a lack of nicotinic acid (niacin, Vitamin B3) in the diet. Pellagra affects the skin, the mucous membranes, the gastro-intestinal tract, and the central nervous system. Lesions and crusting form on the skin, secondary infections set in easily, and the skin over pressure areas like the knees and elbows becomes thick, darkened, inelastic, and fissured. advertisement A Cora woman grinds corn for tortillas Buy this Framed Art Print at AllPosters.com The mucous membranes become bright scarlet, the mouth and throat are sore, and the tongue and inside the lower lip become ulcerated. A gray material sloughs off these ulcers. The lower GI tract is distended; nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea are common.

Condition caused by deficiency of the vitamin niacin which is derived both from the diet and the conversion of the amino acid tryptophan. The problem is therefore associated with a lack of one or both in the diet. The vitamin and/or amino acid are found in vegetables, many cereals, milk and its derivatives. Normally, the most common underlying factor is a diet mainly consisting of cooked maize that lacks these dietary elements. However, in developed countries causes include alcohol abuse anorexia nervosa and as a side effect of taking isoniazid. Epidemiology Incidence Unknown.

A dietary deficiency in the essential amino acid tryptophan and niacin can result in a deficiency in niacin (which is a B vitamin ) and can result in pellagra. Symptoms of pellagra are red skin lesions, diarrhea dermatitis , weakness, mental confusion, and eventually dementia . This disease can be common for persons who obtain most of their food energy from maize , as maize is a poor source of lysine, and any lysine it contains is chemically bound. Therefore this disease can be common amongst people who live in rural South America Africa The traditional food preparation method of maize by native new world cultivators, who had domesticated maize, required treatment of the grain with lime , an alkali . It has now been shown that the lime treatment makes lysine nutritionally available and reduces the chance of developing pellagra. When maize cultivation was adopted worldwide, this preparation method was not accepted because the benefit was not understood. The original cultivators, who often depended heavily on maize, did not suffer from pellagra. Pellagra became common only when maize became a staple that was eaten without the traditional treatment. In the early , when pellagra appeared in the American south, the scientific community held that pellagra was probably caused by a germ or some unknown toxin in maize. However, in

Niacin is plentiful in yeast, organ meats, peanuts, and wheat germ. The disease manifests itself in lesions of the skin and mucous membrane, diarrhea and other gastrointestinal symptoms, neurological derangement, and mental confusion. It is most common in areas where the diet consists mainly of corn, which, unlike other grains, lacks niacin as well as the amino acid tryptophan, which the body uses to synthesize the vitamin. Treatment includes large doses of niacin and the institution of a proper diet to prevent recurrences. See D. A.

    http://www.sundaysupper.com/rabe.html
    
    Extractions: Broccoli Rabe Polenta Lasagna serves 4 (with some leftovers) I can't take full credit from coming up with this basic idea. It originated with Carol Field, a journalist resident in San Francisco who authored "The Italian Baker" and "Italy in Small Bites". She taught this recipe in cooking class at the Tante Marie Cooking School in San Francisco. But I made several modifications to her basic recipe which makes my version lighter and even more luscious that her original recipe. My modifications include adding nutmeg to the polenta, using a tomato sauce without meat (not a ragu as she uses), and adding mushrooms to the layers between the polenta. The combination of nutmeg in the polenta and hot pepper flakes in the tomato sauce are an uncommonly happy pair. The peppery sweetness of the nutmeg fits nicely against the more aggressive spiciness of the hot pepper flakes. Ditty's version makes such a delicious Sunday Supper, I had to share it with friends of this "Sunday Supper Home Page" even though it is not a "Ditty original". 2 medium size potatoes (any type is fine)
