I’m Not a Vampire, Just Niacin Deficient

Did you know that the whole vampire myth in 18th century Europe was probably instigated by a disease called Pellegra, which was caused by niacin deficiency from a diet that was based solely on corn? I think there’s a joke here about the current vampire craze and our American diet based primarily on high fructose corn syrup and corn products, but I’m too tired to make it.
