Photo: AFPA diet of corn is turning wild hamsters in northeastern France into deranged cannibals that devour their offspring, alarmed researchers have reported. Only five percent, however, of the baby hamsters whose mothers ate corn instead of wheat made it that far. The usually cute-and-cuddly hamsters ran in circles, "climbing and pounding their feeders," when scientists entered the room. In a second set of experiments, they offered hamsters corn-based diets, one of them with B3 added. Sure enough, the vitamin-enriched diet was enough to eliminate the horrific symptoms, and prevent the female hamsters from eating their young.
