This is very eurocentric! Presumably the native peoples of the americas have
been eating such things, albeit in their original form, for millennia, and
have suffered no ill effects as a result. Look at the Tarahumara indians of
Mexico, for example. They live extremely fit and healthy lives on "new world
foods".
