Corn in general has wonky ratios for everything (fructose to sucrose sugars which has some messed up effects on your body as well, fatty acids, everything). It's also HIGHLY processed. I try and avoid corn oils and corn syrups when ever possible.

I should also come around to the fat is not bad mantra again. BUTTER is not bad for you. In fact I would rather someone fries my food in butter or lard than corn oil.
