My husband talked to a man the other day who is a Cherokee healer/shaman. He told a story about traveling somewhere in South America and talking with the native people about corn. He asked an old woman what the differences are in the colors of corn (as far as health properties, etc). The woman told him that blue corn somehow carries toxins out of the body, clarifying the mind. Red corn, she said, brings good "vibes" (my interpretation) into the body. "And what about yellow corn?" he asked. "We feed yellow corn to our chickens," the old woman said. "Because we don't want them to think."

Ha! Make of that what you will...
