Description:

There are 175 calories in one cup of yellow corn. It is considered a grain, and has a high amount of Folate and Vitamin B1 and B5.

Folate is a necessary nutrient to help prevent birth defects.It should be noted that people should know the difference between folate and folic acid.

Folic Acid is the synthetic version of folate, and research is showing that the body does not completely process synthetic folic acid.

This can potentially cause serious health problems.As a result of this research, people need to focus on natural sources of folate as much as they can. Corn is high in folate as is Broccoli.

Are The Carbs and Calories In Corn Worth It?


New research is showing that Corn might have anti-oxidant power that equals that of green vegetables and fruits in some way. In general studies show that different grains, vegetables and fruits have different health promoting properties. So if you are counting calories you may want to keep this in mind. The low fat content, high fiber content and measurable levels of protein will make corn a good power food for those people following "weight watchers points plus."

The Downside Of Corn

For people on a diet, corn might be something to avoid. According to JJ Virgin, PhD, corn is a high glycemic grain. This means it raises blood pressure and insulin and help to store fat.
