Why is corn not good for you??
Question: i heard it was bad for you but WHY????
Answers: Full of carbs which turn to sugar.
Corn the vegetable is good for you.
Corn the bumps you get on your feet are bad for you.
Well it is kinda fattening, but oh so yummy!
It is not bad for you. Certain byproducts, in excess, would be bad, such as corn oil.
I heard it'll make your breasts grow.
Does anyone know if that's true?
Corn is a very healthy vegetable for you. Having only corn to eat is not healthy. If you eat it as a side with other food with protein etc. you will be fine.
Eating just products of corn meal or corn bread is unhealthy for protein absorbtion but south american indiginous people figured out it was ok if it also had lime in it.
Pellagra
When maize was first introduced outside of the Americas it was typically welcomed enthusiastically by farmers everywhere for its productivity. However, a widespread problem of malnutrition soon arose wherever maize was introduced. This was a mystery since these types of malnutrition were not seen among the indigenous Americans under normal circumstances.[citation needed]
It was eventually discovered that the indigenous Americans learned long ago to add alkali---in the form of ashes among North Americans and lime (calcium carbonate) among Mesoamericans---to corn meal to liberate the B-vitamin niacin, the lack of which was the underlying cause of the condition known as pellagra. This alkali process is known by its Nahuatl (Aztec)-derived name: nixtamalization.
Besides the lack of niacin, pellagra was also characterized by protein deficiency, a result of the inherent lack of two key amino acids in pre-modern maize, lysine and tryptophan. Nixtamalization was also found to increase the lysine and tryptophan content of maize to some extent, but more importantly, the indigenous Americans had learned long ago to balance their consumption of maize with beans and other protein sources such as amaranth and chia, as well as meat and fish, in order to acquire the complete range of amino acids for normal protein synthesis.
Since maize had been introduced into the diet of non-indigenous Americans without the necessary cultural knowledge acquired over thousands of years in the Americas, the reliance on maize elsewhere was often tragic. Once alkali processing and dietary variety was understood and applied, pellagra disappeared. The development of high lysine maize and the promotion of a more balanced diet has also contributed to its demise.
it's not the corn that's bad for you - it's the butter you smear on it. Or the fatty dips you dunk your corn chip into... The more whole, not processed anything is the better.
