| 词条 | Zeism |
| 释义 |
Zeism is any condition attributed to excessive use of maize (corn) in the diet, such as pellagra, because maize is low in zinc, niacin and tryptophan, and the limited niacin found in maize is not assimilated in the intestinal tract unless it has been treated with alkalis, as in the preparation of tortillas. A type of pellagra attributed to amino acid imbalance is common in India among people who eat a millet with a high leucine content. The deficiencies are usually seasonal. The (now confirmed) zeist hypotheses that pellagra might be a deficiency disease related to corn consumption has been stated in 1810 by the Italian Giovanni Battista Marzari.[1] See also
