Corn is a grain and is not good for you..
It's a high-glycemic grain
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.
nightshade vegetables??? lol this is the first I'm hearing of this... anyone care to explain?0 -

What do you use to fatten up cattle? CORN
Get educated
Most corn is gmo
Grains are not an essential nutrient ....no one needs them to survive
Commercial cattle are fed corn, but they are fattier than their grass fed counterparts primarily due to lack of movement. Cattle that are allowed to roam and graze are leaner because they get more exercise.
We don't need fish to survive either, but that doesn't mean we are better off without it.0 -
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!
I don't think anyone is here to bully the OP, but you know perfectly well what the reaction on these threads will be if you post a blanket statement like "X is bad for you." with no information/research to back it up. This is no place for those who are thin-skinned.

Well, I know they contain nicotine. Which is a toxin, but also protective. People who eat a lot of peppers have a reduced risk of Parkinson's disease because of the nicotine content. Nutrition is never black and white.0 -

Also, while you can survive without corn/grains, it isn't the specific food. Grains contain nutrients that we DO need to survive and be healthy. You can get those nutrients from other sources, though, so you can live without the grains.
There isn't any one specific food or food group that we NEED to survive. We get our nutrients from the variety we eat, though. That includes grains.0 -
Looking at OP's post history I am calling troll............or someone who read a blog post somewhere and thinks they know something.0

Not to argue with you, cause obviously corn is not right for you I see, but your statement doesn't have to do with being educated.
And, some cattle are fed corn for a variety of reasons. I don't eat that type of cattle, but that's another story.
Not all corn is gmo. And I *try* not to eat gmo corn.
I don't know any one particular food that is essential to survival. Doesn't mean that corn has no nutrients or value if you incorporate it into your diet. As a matter of fact, it is listed on the website I referred you to as one of the world's healthiest foods because of it's many nutrients.
With that said, I wouldn't suggest an all corn diet, or an all anything diet. But for people that choose to incorporate grains in their diet, there are benefits and I wouldn't advise them to stop eating corn.
As for me, I like corn and will continue to eat it.0 -

Don't mind me but by definition Corn is the following:
A veggie when harvested early for human consumption
A grain when it's not harvested early
oh wait for it....
each kernal is considered a fruit
"according to Penn State University’s College of Agricultural Sciences, the answer to the question “Is corn a vegetable, a grain or a fruit?” is that it’s all three.
Corn is technically a fruit in that, botanically speaking, what we call grains, like corn, wheat and rice, are caryopses or the dried fruit of a plant. It’s a vegetable if it’s harvested early to be eaten fresh and it’s a grain if harvested only once it’s dried.
Of course, others insist on the grain classification and most New York politicians like the vegetable classification."0 -

I grew up across the street from a New York state cornfield.
Worst thing about it was fertilizing season. EEEEWWWWW!!!!!0 -

LA-LA-LA-LA, not listening....Corn is a grain and is not good for you..

yes, high in carbs.
But 1 cup has 48% of your daily DV fiber. And many other nutrients, so let's not just write it off as "bad".
It's a staple of many cultures, such as some Latin American and Aftican countries.
Per http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/cereal-grains-and-pasta/5687/2
I cup of corn has the following %DV :
25% Iron
43% Thiamin
20% Riboflavin
30% Niacin
52% B6
25% Iron
53% Magnesium
35% Potassium
26% Copper
40% Manganese
37% Selenium0 -
But why is it in my poop?
Because it has 48% of your daily DV of fiber !!0 -
This pretty much sums up my feelings about corn.
Corn has been altered so many times in a lab that it isn't even really "corn" anymore. I like to eat foods that are food, and anything that produces its own pesticides isn't a food to me.
That being said, corn on the cob with butter and salt is delicous....but I think the deliciousness comes from the butter and salt, not the corn itself.0 -
Corn sucks . In the Irish Famine they tried to feed to the people and they wouldn't eat it.
I refuse to eat it .
Just like rich people refused to eat Lobster at one time and it was relegated to the poor folks....
BTW this is getting too close to attacking bacon.....better back off OP and Minnie0 -

Yes. I live in upstate NY downwind of a corn field. There are a few days in late spring when you can't open the windows (or breathe too deeply) thanks to the ish smell.0 -

Then you've had some really lousy corn.0 -
everything, everywhere is terrible for you.
someone, somewhere has some 'evidence' that it is bad.0 -
troll alert..troll alert...
but you can pry the corn from my cold dead hands...!0 -
I love corn...and popcorn...I will NEVER give up Popcorn!!0

I eat popcorn everynight. What will happen to me? Am I going to die? If so, when?0

OP is right. I used to be 770lbs and I didn't know why. My BMI was 1150.6 and I knew it was time to change.
I researched my medical journal/youtube and discovered that all my excess weight was due to corn! I lost 600lbs in 2 weeks. From Precious to Miranda Kerr.
So long corn, hello feet!0 -
