The article isn't saying corn is bad overall. The problem is how we are eating it. A large amount of the corn crop are set aside for extracting certain parts of it. In one case, they are actually extracting the least healthy part of corn for us and putting it in other foods because it is cost effective.
Corn is a very effective crop because it has been being cultivated and gone through artificial selection for thousands of years. The problem is we are pinching every last thing out of the corn that we can even if its bad for our health overall. This is unnecessary for our situation, however I do support it in other parts of the world were its either doing this or having a complete lack of food which would cause people to starve. I don't push for organic stuff, but I stay away from foods that abuse these fattening byproducts.
