Corn diet is turning French hamsters into erratic cannibals research Published time: 28 Jan, 2017 04:28 Edited time: 28 Jan, 2017 14:35 ... The corn-eating hamsters also had large, swollen tongues and blood so thick it was difficult for scientists to test. They behaved differently too, running in circles and climbing and pounding their feeders. Improperly cooked maize-based diets have been associated with higher rates of homicide, suicide and cannibalism in humans, the scientists added. The reason the hamsters were acting so strangely was due to a Vitamin B3 deficiency as a result of their corn-heavy diet. When hamsters were given the added Vitamin B3 with the corn diet, the hamsters didnt eat their children, and didnt experience the other disturbing effects. Knowing that these species already face many threats, and that most of them are in danger of extinction, it is urgent to restore a diverse range of plants in agriculture schemes, the researchers said.
