Is corn a good dieting food because most of it can not be digested?

I think due to it’s cellulose most of corn, or at least the wrapping on each corn, can not be digested, and just simply passes through the body. Does this make it a good dieting food due to people being able to eat so much of it without digesting too much carbs?

Only the very thin outside layer of the kernel is cellulose. The rest is VERY highly concentrated calories, mostly carbohydrates. It is a TERRIBLE diet food. There is a reason we use corn to fatten up beef cattle.
One small cup of corn has 123 grams of carbs, 8 grams of fat and 606 calories! Thats’ ‘with nothing on it!

If you chew it hard, all of it will digest in your stomach and intestines!!

The fact of the situation is that the majority simply can not afford standard health care insurance, not to mention anything that may only provide coverage for their teeth.

It's vital to know who is reporting to the credit agent and telling your grimy business on you.
