What's the point of eating corn if your body can't digest it?

[Mr. Black]

Whenever I see corn kernels in the toilet I often wonder why do we bother to eat it? Does the human body even receive any nutrients if its just a quick in and out operation?

put mayonaise on it (it is good-try it, but make sure to use mayo, not miracle whip or some other crap).... now you eat it cause it is an excuse to eat mayo....

i think if you actually chew it up it might get absorbed.

I've got a good set of choppers and chew quite thoroughly but some always seems to get through. However, on a separate note, I have heard of a few studies that suggested corn is really useless to consume.

i think only the outer husk is undigestible fiber...the inner part is starch and sugar.

 

[sh4dowf4lcon]

thanks for clearing this up JB, so basically we absorb the starch and sugar and discard the corns shell? lol

Yup..they then fill back up and ya have shitter-nuggets.

Now do ya see? Jerkbox has confirmed the studies...to someone who is conscious of their diet, who really wants starch & sugars?
