Answer 2

Your body probably digests more than you realize. All vegetables are considered to be good for you. However, there are better choices to be made. Sweet corn is, as the name implies, full of sugar. Actually, it's starch which is the worst kind of sugar if you happen to have issues with blood glucose levels or a predisposition toward diabetes. It does provide vitamins A & C, but compared to green leafy vegetables, it simply doesn't cut the mustard.
