    Corn is a grain and is not good for you..
    It's a high-glycemic grain

    Tons of evidence you've provided supporting your statement.

    lol, right?

    I think there have been a few studies that say that corn can help improve cholesterol levels due to some fatty acid it contains can help reduce absorption or something...I don't remember. Nor do I care. Corn is yummy and you can have my corn when I die, and you can lay it right next to my potatoes.

    I'll take one for the team and eat your corn. I'll also eat your bacon since smoked/cured meats are carcinogens and not good for you. Oh, and your tomatoes and eggplant as they are nightshade vegetables and they are poisonous.

    Yep, tons of methanol in tomatoes, you might as well drink gallons of evil diet drinks!

    See, now maybe you just haven't had it the right way. You take a cob of corn, a half stick of butter, and a clove or two of garlic. Melt the butter and roll the corn in it along with the smashed garlic. Wrap in tinfoil with extra butter pouted into it. Grill until done.

    Either way, I'm with you on the popcorn! :bigsmile:

    - One medium-sized ear of corn provides over 10% of our daily requirement for dietary fiber.
    - Studies have shown that a high intake of lutein and zeaxanthin is associated with a significant reduction in the risk of a chronic eye disease called macular degeneration. Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is not some obscure medical condition - it is the leading cause of legal blindness among the elderly. According to the National Eye Institute, 6.5% of the population over 40 has symptoms of ARMD, for which there is no cure.
    - Lutein and zeaxanthin may also play a role in slowing the development of cataracts. Since lutein and zeaxanthin are the only carotenoids detectable in the lens, researchers believe that these powerful antioxidants may protect the clear proteins in the lens from undergoing the oxidation that causes them to become cloudy.
    - Corn contains beta-cryptoxanthin, another cousin of vitamin A that is being studied for its possible role in slowing bone loss associated with aging, reducing the risk of inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis as well as various forms of cancer, especially lung cancer.
    - Corn is a good source of the vitamin folate that supports cardiovascular health and significantly reduces the risk of neural tube birth defects.
    - Corn contributes thiamin (vitamin B1) that helps the body’s cells convert carbohydrates into energy. It is also essential for the proper functioning of the heart, muscles, and nervous system

    I like corn because it allows me to put butter and salt on it.

    Define vegetable o declarer of things.

    I love corn on the cob or buttery popcorn. Or creamed corn. Or nixtamalized corn.

    I eat lowish carb, but please spare me your anti-grain horror stories unless you have some solid science to back it up.

    Look at all the bullies in this thread! We're all here for the same reason. Why aren't you supporting the OP?????

    if you don't have anything nice to say or you don't agree with her, you don't have to post. Just move on!
