Leo, when you bit into it, was the texture weird too, like weirdly chewy or maybe it had a weird shine? My cousin once grilled something that looked like normal chicken but it had this faint rainbow shimmer, no way it was just corn. I'm trying to figure out what your friend actually used, like some crazy exotic mushroom or just food dye gone wrong. What did it taste like, besides not-corn?
Honestly used to roll my eyes at stuff like this, thought it was all placebo. But after my own gut issues cleared up cutting out that stuff, can't really argue with results. Sometimes the body just knows what it doesn't like, science hasn't caught up to everything yet.
