Corn and Fat

[nish]

Corn has f*** all fat in doesnt it?

That is correct.

Eat lots - it's excellent for your digestive system.

It's a starchy vegetable - not much else in it! One of my favorite foods and great when you glop the butter on it.

As Chris Rock put it - "Corn bread - ain't nothing wrong with that!"

I think that might negate the low fat benefits

That's the fun of corn - since there's barely anything in it, you can put whatever you want on it! But if you want to go low fat, corn still tastes great by itself. But you really shouldn't worry about fat so much, unless it's saturated fat - carbohydrates are worse for your system unless you exercise a lot; they turn to fat if you don't burn them off adequately. You shouldn't overdo it on any kind of food, however, and you should exercise more. Then you can eat what you want and not worry.

All hail the corn.

Yes, avoid 'saturated' fat.

Poly and mono unsaturated fats are good for you (no more than 30% of your diet though)

I have no fat worries I was just commenting on the title of the thread
