    The point is-it's delicious so I don't care if it comes out whole-I'll still keep eating it forever and ever-sugar or not.

    I have no clue what that means. According to Google it is "Homegrown String Band"

    Fact is that if you chew your food thoroughly your body can digest it better and it is impossible to come out looking the same as it went in. The digestive system starts in the mouth, not in the stomach.

    except with corn- because yeah- it comes about the same as how it goes down the gullet.

    If that was true we could eat it all day with no effect on our calorie intake, carbs, etc.

    The corn skin/kernel shell is an insoluble fiber. Even if you chew it very well, chances are the skin stays in tact. I looked this up recently, and even if you chew and chew and chew your corn, the reason it comes out looking like whole kernels is because poo makes its way into the kernel skin and it looks like a whole kernel. I'll post the article if you really want, but it's an easy Google search away.

    Shouldn't Corn on the Cob just be "corn" since it grows that way? And corn removed from the cob be called "Corn off the Cob"?

    Insoluble fiber's job is to march on through from point a to point b, giving "bulk" to the, er...stuff and generally moving along.

    So, you know, corn is just demonstrating to you that's it's very good at being insoluble fiber. Show off.
