"Corn sweat," scientifically known as evapotranspiration, is being blamed for extreme humidity and "heat risk" in the Midwest. Scientific American reports that corn plants release significant moisture into the atmosphere, impacting regional weather patterns. The hosts mock the term as a new addition to the climate change lexicon used to create a "strategy of tension."

### Vitamin D3 Metabolism, High Fructose Corn Syrup Interference

- **Episode:** [1509: The Best Clips Of The Day](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1509-the-best-clips-of-the-day.md)
- **Published:** 2022-12-04

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1509-the-best-clips-of-the-day/chapter/vitamin-d3-metabolism-high-fructose-corn-syrup-interference.md

Medical research indicates that Vitamin D3 is converted in the liver and kidneys into its active form, 125-Dihydroxyvitamin D, which is essential for immune function. A study highlighted in the MedCram series suggests that high fructose corn syrup can accelerate the inactivation of Vitamin D in the body. This dietary factor may undermine the benefits of sun exposure and supplementation.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1502-shood-fortage/chapter/carbon-capture-pipelines-food-shortage-predictions.md

The hosts revisit a prediction from one year ago regarding food shortages and carbon capture pipelines. While the predicted massive food shortages in the U.S. did not materialize, the construction of multi-billion dollar CO2 pipelines through the Corn Belt using eminent domain is confirmed. They speculate these pipelines could eventually be repurposed for oil.

### Skimpflation and Food Ingredient Substitution

- **Episode:** [1501: Under Salt](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1501-under-salt.md)
- **Published:** 2022-11-10

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1501-under-salt/chapter/skimpflation-and-food-ingredient-substitution.md

"Skimpflation" is identified as a trend where food brands reformulate recipes with cheaper ingredients to offset rising costs. Examples include Smart Balance margarine reducing its vegetable oil content from 64% to 39% and other brands substituting sugar with high fructose corn syrup. A survey of 300 brands indicates that nearly two-thirds have recently changed their recipes, often resulting in lower product quality.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1442-slime-mold/chapter/biden-authorizes-e15-gasoline-blend.md

President Biden authorized the year-round sale of E15 gasoline (15% ethanol) to lower fuel prices. AAA warned that the higher ethanol content could cause damage to older vehicle engines due to its corrosive properties. Dvorak explains that while some cars are designed for E85, most standard engines are only rated for a 10% ethanol mix.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1398-gender-justice/chapter/population-control-through-food-seed-monopolies.md

The hosts debate whether the consolidation of the food industry is a deliberate attempt at population management. They discuss the health impacts of high fructose corn syrup and canola oil (rapeseed oil) and the "terrorizing" of farmers through restrictive seed contracts. A host suggests that the ultimate goal is to streamline human nutrition to the bare minimum required for functionality while maximizing corporate profit.

### Carbon Food Print, Land Confiscation for Pipelines

- **Episode:** [1398: Gender Justice](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1398-gender-justice.md)

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1398-gender-justice/chapter/carbon-food-print-land-confiscation-for-pipelines.md

The "Ice Age Farmer" reports on the confiscation of American farmland through eminent domain to build massive carbon capture and sequestration pipelines across the Corn Belt. These projects aim to transport CO2 from ethanol plants to be buried underground, often against the will of multi-generational farming families. This occurs amidst warnings from fertilizer CEOs of a looming global food crisis and "life or death" shortages in the coming year.

### Global Glass Shortage, Liquor and Wine Bottling

- **Episode:** [1394: Re-wilding](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1394-re-wilding.md)
- **Published:** 2021-10-28

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1394-re-wilding/chapter/global-glass-shortage-liquor-and-wine-bottling.md

A global glass shortage is impacting the liquor and wine industries, leading brands like Jack Daniels and Jim Beam to halt production of certain sizes or switch to plastic bottles. The shortage is attributed to pandemic-related factory shutdowns and the "cold repair" maintenance of glass melting furnaces, which can take up to 20 weeks to restart. Major glass plants in the San Francisco Bay Area have also permanently closed.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1336-climate-crisis-special/chapter/ethanol-mandates-unintended-consequences-for-global-hunger.md

A discussion on climate policy highlights the unintended consequences of the U.S. ethanol mandate, which diverted a third of the corn crop to fuel production. This shift caused global food prices to double, leading to riots in Mexico and hindering relief agencies trying to feed the poor in Africa. The segment argues that while stewardship of the earth is a shared value, poorly planned carbon reduction strategies can cause immediate human suffering.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1329-boba-liberals/chapter/vitamin-d-high-fructose-corn-syrup-and-covid-19.md

A technical presentation from MedCram explains how high fructose corn syrup accelerates the inactivation of Vitamin D in the body. This biochemical process may explain why certain communities with diets high in processed foods and soft drinks suffer disproportionately from COVID-19. The hosts advise listeners to strictly avoid high fructose corn syrup to maintain immune health.
