    I don't think there's anything especially unhealthy about it; I eat it pretty frequently. I wouldn't suggest eating sweetcorn morning noon and night, but I wouldn't suggest eating anything all the time - so long as you're getting a variety of different fruit and veg (different colours is good) then you're doing fine. And if one of them's sweetcorn, then enjoy!

    Enjoy it just don't load it with butter. It is a starchy vegetable so moderation is key. Pretend its a slice of bread...that's the idea. Ok for a slice or 2 but don't go crazy.

    Corn is not a vegetable, it's a starch. And will have a fair amount of sugar. However, if you eat it in moderation , make sure you're getting other veggies in your day, and counting it as starches, there is nothing wrong with sweet corn.
