Thoughts on this sentence being properly constructed?:

However, the amount of carbon dioxide added to the atmosphere when corn-based ethanol is burned is equivalent to the amount carbon dioxide that the corn from which the ethanol was made removed from the atmosphere as that corn grew.

Stopped me in my tracks as I read it.
To read such language effectively, you can focus on the essence of the sentence - what the sentence says if you don't consider all the modifiers.

In this case, the essence of the sentence is the following:

    However, the amount of carbon dioxide added to the atmosphere ... is equivalent to the amount of carbon dioxide that the corn ... removed ... as that corn grew.
