    Troll post. Pretty obvious.
    Mine from the other night was so much more entertaining.

    Would that be the chucking a carton of icecream at boyfriends unsupportive crotch one? Yea, that was 5 star.
    That's the one. :happy:

    Corn is a grain and is not good for you..

    what on earth are you talking about?

    grains are good for you - it's quantity that matters.

    noun
    1. any plant whose fruit, seeds, roots, tubers, bulbs, stems, leaves, or flower parts are used as food, as the tomato, bean, beet, potato, onion, asparagus, spinach, or cauliflower.

    Wait a minute, doesn't chocolate come from a plant?

    We should distinguish between field corn and sweet corn.

    Op, this may be of interest to you as well:

    Blood Sugar Benefits

    Given its good fiber content, its ability to provide many B-complex vitamins including vitamins B1, B5 and folic acid, and its notable protein content (about 5-6 grams per cup), corn is a food that would be expected to provide blood sugar benefits. Fiber and protein are key macronutrients for stabilizing the passage of food through our digestive tract. Sufficient fiber and protein content in a food helps prevent too rapid or too slow digestion of that food. By evening out the pace of digestion, protein and fiber also help prevent too rapid or too slow uptake of sugar from the digestive tract up into the bloodstream. Once the uptake of sugar is steadied, it is easier to avoid sudden spikes or drops in blood sugar.

    Consumption of corn in ordinary amounts of 1-2 cups has been shown to be associated with better blood sugar control in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Fasting glucose and fasting insulin levels have been used to verify these blood sugar benefits. Interestingly, in elementary school-age and teenage youths already diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, whole grain cornbread has emerged in one study as the whole grain food with the highest acceptability among all whole grain foods. Youth participants in the study who consumed whole grain cornbread were also less likely to consume fast foods.

    Thank you for the Public Service Announcement. Off to pick some fresh corn out of the garden for dinner. But you are correct...I will not count it as my veggie. :)

    Is that close enough to be able to have it in salad?
