Corn: what is useful and for whom it is dangerous

The work of a doctor-nutritionist obliges to give interviews to radio and TV channels and various publications.

And although there is a lot of "food" information on the Internet, very often (mostly) it is repeated and duplicated.

And we know well that if something is often repeated, at some point it will become a "truth" that no one will think to check.

That's why I am asked daily about food, about certain products, their benefits and "dangers".

A couple of days ago it was my turn to corn :)

With corn it's almost the same as with tomato cucumbers and melon.

For it also invented "rules" of eating :)

These rules are categorical and black and white, that is, either you can or not.

Further text in the original language.

The latest trend is "antinutrients", i.e. substances that prevent the absorption of beneficial nutrients.

In corn, it's phytic acid.

There are many attacks on phytic acid, saying that it blocks calcium absorption and causes osteoporosis. In fact, the situation is just the opposite: it prevents the deposition of calcium in the joints and favors the preservation of calcium in the bones.

However, the benefit of #fitativas has been proven: they protect against many diseases: they have an antipuchlina effect, reduce the level of heat in the body, and may reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease.

And also corn is unique in the amount of #phytosterols - special molecules that successfully prevent the development of different types of dyslipidemia (cholesterol metabolism disorders).

Yellow corn is because it has a lot of different beta-carotenes, which have their own "target cells" in the body and have a positive effect on them (cells of the skin, sitkivka, brain).

Corn is malted through zucor and starch. But they should not be afraid of them, because a large number of cells in the grains strips the absorption of zucor in the blood. And a special form of crumbs (so-called resistant or resistant) in corn favors the growth of beneficial microorganisms in the intestines and their synthesis of beneficial substances that protect the intestines, joints, brain from malfunctions and "breakdowns".

Who can't eat corn?

For example, people after surgeries, with pain in the stomach and intestines.

All others, at least one stone, definitely can.

And if you are a healthy person, enjoy corn and be happy every summer day:))

Do you like corn?

How do you cook?:)
