Corn (maize) became a staple food in the southeast United States and in parts of Europe. A disease that was characterized by dermatitis of sunlight-exposed skin was described in Spain in 1735 by [[Gaspar Casal]]. He attributed the cause to poor diet. In northern Italy it was named "pellagra" from the [[Lombard language]] (''agra'' = [[holly]]-like or [[Serous fluid|serum]]-like; ''pell'' = skin). In time, the disease was more closely linked specifically to corn. In the US, [[Joseph Goldberger]] was assigned to study pellagra by the Surgeon General of the United States. His studies confirmed a corn-based diet as the culprit, but he did not identify the root cause.</div>FuzzyBot
