stigmas

natives believed that eating the silk of the corn would make their hair stronger and more durable. the facts about this have been disputed over the years, and so far there are no conclusive results. corn silk is made of stray vessels used to carry nutrients to the kernels. these become unattached when the corn is ripe (it’s a common way used by farmers and independent corn growers to judge when their crop is ready.) some studies claim that the silk causes increases in pancreatic cancer and heart disease, others claim that it helps pain associated with autoimmune disorders. one study even claimed that corn silk increases psychic energy and can help with astral projection.
