Find help: I have a question about sweetcorn! - Help.com

LOL!!!!!! I laughed till I cried!!!! ROFLMAO!!!!!

hmmm..i think no to the yellow poo. Surely you would start to digest some stored fat and i think that would add brown in to the mixture..certainly i believe there would be a yellow hue

as for dying of hunger..i don’t think you would..surely there are some nutritional benefits to sweetcorn?

Sorry I couldn’t help….

Well apparently sweetcorn is a good source of folate. It is high in iron and potassium. It is also a good food for steadying blood sugar. It provides more starch and more calories than most vegetables. I think it’s only the outer skin that is undigestable..

if you’d like to learn more about our friend sweetcorn:

not necessarily..sweetcorn isn’t completely covered in the outer layer..there’s a gap so the goodness could ooze out even if swallowed whole

I’ve done a little research: apparently the part that you see exit your body as part of your fecal matter is actually the part that the human digestive system can’t do much with, because we don’t have the enzymes (complicated proteins that the body creates) to break apart what the corn kernel covering is made of…some animals can, though. I think that maybe seeing the coverings not digested is what made you think that the whole corn kernel isn’t digested. The rest of the corn kernel (the interior stuff) is easily digestible by the human digestive system. The center part of the kernel is mainly starch (complex carbohydrate) and a little bit of protein…and a few vitamins and minerals. The human body then can absorb the breakdown products from the starch and protein, as well as the vitamins and minerals into the blood stream, where the materials can be delivered to the rest of the body tissues.

So, the end result is that, in order to get the maxiumum nutritional yield from the sweet corn you eat, make sure that it is well cooked and that you chew it well, so your digestive tract has the chance to ‘capture’ all the nutrients that it can from the corn.

well..i aim to please :)

hmm..if you really wanted yellow poo..you could eat alot of yellow marbles..or use road paint..that covers up cat poo quite well.
Anyhoo..i’m glad Splat.. I feel like i’ve really made a difference here tonight..take it easy ;)

well, u would be malnursed i think, and would be real hungrey cauz theres a layer on corn that stops it from being digested

well, reading what she wrote if u cooked it real well i guess so, still u should eat more than 1 thing so u can cover ur nutritional bases

are u still going to do the experiment?

(i don’t think splat ever really intended on doing the experiment, i think it was more of an observation)

oh, hey i shoud do it then! jk

What a plate..i do love sweetcorn..imagine all the energy it takes to actually eat if off the cob though..like i’d say if you were to eat if off the cob you’d probably burn nearly as many calories as it provides!!

like celery, takes more energy to eat then it provides

exactly! What a clever vegetable..oo is that a paradox right there..i do believe it very possibly could be! Goodnight help busters! :)

goodnight ginseng (again lol)

What an odd question….I don’t know and i can honestly say i don’t think i’ve ever thought about it. If you wanted to really know, you could probably ask your doctor

Hahahahahahaha - OMG did I laff … oh dear - oooooh too funny and yet informative too! hahahaha

no ginseng - no paradox
lol :)
hehehehe
ahahahah
ohohohoh
LMFAO!
