Does Corn have any nutritional value?

Question

Someone told me that corn has absolutely no nutritional value...Since it is classified as a veggie, I disagree. Does anyone know the truth?

Answer 1

yes corn is a good source of carbs, proteins and vitamin a

100 g of yellow corn contains:

365 cal
9.42g protein
74g of carbs
2.21mg zinc
214ui vitamin A
10.37g water

it is a good source of dietry fibre. if u eat corn and drink a glass of water. the fibbre in ur stomach will expand and give u a feeling of fulnees for a long period of time.

it has a low sodium content which makes it suitable for dieters too.

hope this solves ur doubts.

It isn't about how much you eat but what you eat. You ate terribly. I will explain everything bad with what you ate: Breakfast: Rice krispies are a processed cereal and have no nutritional value. Non-organic milk has hormones and antibiotics that can cause health issues and even increase your risk of cancer. And you don't need milk- its meant for baby cows not humans! So get organic milk or a dairy substitute like almond or rice milk. And do not buy Kellogg or post cereals they are not healthy. Get healthy cereals- the Nature's Path brand is my favorite. Lunch: Watch Food Inc and you'll see why this is bad. If you bought chicken nuggets that weren't cage free and organic- those chickens were treated terribly, probably sick, lived in their own feces (not making this up), and given hormones and antibiotics. Green beans are fine if they are just green beans. Organic is better (no pesticides and not genetically modified), Chocolate Teddy Grahams- probably processed and had horrible ingredients like bleached flour, high fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated oils. Snack: Pop corn has barely any nutritional value and probably had a lot of refined salt. Dinner: Red meat isn't that great for you. If you eat to much it can make your bad cholesterol go up and increase your risk of cancer. Plus it has small amounts of trans fats (too much isn't good). Rosemary is fine and so is olive oil (unless you cooked with olive oil). Potatoes are ok. Buy organic potatoes if possible. Snow peas are fine. Dessert: You don't need so much milk! The money hungry dairy industry has fooled you into believing milk is the only source of calcium. I'll let you in on a little secret: there are many other sources (I think leafy green vegetables have a lot of calcium). Calories don't matter too much. The media and fake diets that don't work have brainwashed you into believing that only calories and fat matter. Not all fat is bad! Unsaturated fats (and saturated fats in moderation) are actually good for you. They help your cells and immune system, and help the body absorb certain nutrients.

The nutritional value of corn is a good question but what about the overused soil it is grown in. we need 91 nutrients imported into our bodies appropriate to our individual weight and height, we need anti-oxidants, cholesterol, fat and salt. The opposition to increasing and enjoying the latter three in the list will promote disease, alzheimers and clinically listed are directly related to the onset of over 900 chronic illnesses. The only good thing about corn that comes to mind is that it is not wheat, barley, rye or oats and therefore will not cause inflammation to the digestion tract. Unfortunately, when people eat corn they do so with margarine instead of real butter. Margarine is packaged death and so is oil in a bottle mainly because it oxidizes and intake is like pouring free radicals into the body thus destroying the vascular walls.

Answer 6

No true --
1 cup of corn contains 17% of your recommended daily fiber, 6% Vit A and 17% Vit C, High in Potassium

- It's also low in fat and calories....just watch the butter and salt.

Answer 7

Corn has a lot of fiber, niacin, and folate. Yellow corn also contains vitamin A.

Answer 9

Both are good for you, each fruit/vegetable has different vitamins. Thus as more variety, as better. Vegetables have generally less sugar than fruits.

Answer 10

Corn contains nutrients like vitamin Bs, C, many minerals and etc. Corn oil is one of the major sources of fat-soluble vitamins. Vitamin E, a fat-soluble vitamin, is one of the target nutrients that genetic engineers try to increase the amount in corn. Vitamin E is one of the body's antioxidants. It can protect cell against oxidation. Vitamin E appears as alpha and gamma forms in corn oil and other vegetable oils. They are called alpha tocopherol and gamma tocopherol. Gamma tocopherol is a precursor and alpha tocopherol has higher vitamin E activity but alpha forms are less present. An enzyme called methyltransferase (g-TMT) can convert gamma tocopherol to alpha tocopherol but this enzyme is in scant amount with corn.

Scientists have identified a gene (g-TMT gene) that is responsible for such enzyme. Overexpression of this gene can increase vitamin E's availability in corn. By using a corn specific promoter, expression of g-TMT gene can lead up to 80-fold increase in alpha-tocopherol.

Phosphorus is another nutrient in corn whose bioavailability can be improved. This mineral contained in corn is mostly present as phytate, which is not well absorb and utilize by fish and other animals. Report has shown that phytate will reduce other nutrients availability as well. However, a single gene, non-lethal mutation in corn can cause the seed to store most of the phosphorus as inorganic form rather as phytate. This artificial mutation results lower amount of phytate, hence higher availability in phosphorus and other nutrients as well.

Corn oil is cooking oil that is commonly used around the world. Genetic engineers developed transgenic corn that will produce nutritionally ideal unsaturated fatty acids and reduce the saturation of fatty acid. This kind of oil is healthier for human consumption. The oil is has better frying quality and oxidative stability as well.
