[QUOTE="FireDragon76, post: 77524357, member: 330042"] That was caused by poverty in the rural South, not a plant-based diet. Something similar happened in parts of Italy, and it was also caused by poverty. Corn grits, a staple food of poor people in the southern US, are made from defatted, degerminated corn, and have much of the nutritional value stripped away. It's not comparable to eating whole grains, that still have the germ and fiber intact. Other cultures that used nixtamalized whole corn (corn treated with alkali), where the B vitamins are biovailable, don't suffer from pellagra. Having a more varied plant-based diet can also prevent pellagra. Also, niacin can be synthesized in the body from the amino acid tryptophan, and isn't strictly an essential nutrient. Evidence? Alot of the junk food you find in the average American store isn't Vegan, and the vast majority of junk food is being consumed by non-Vegan omnivores. Is that due to Veganism, or poverty, or something else (marketing of these foods)? [/QUOTE]
