Food Fight #28
There is unnecessary confusion on the internet consuming corn.
Can We Eat It Raw?
Yes. Most parts of fresh plants we cook we can eat uncooked..
Can We Digest It?
Yes. It is the fiber in plants and the fiber in corn we don't digest.
One of the likely reasons some folks have difficulty digesting corn is that it has not been recently picked. This corn will be firmer and tougher. Chew this corn thoroughly and it will be easier to digest.
Another digestive difficulty is corn that has had its properties changed. Because most commercially-grown corn has been genetically tampered with, eating it invites who knows what to our digestion, nutrition and health. What all of us definitely should know is that GM/GMO corn ain't natural.
We must ask ourselves, should I expect natural processes inside me, such as digestion and other chemical processes to work smoothly without a hitch or hiccup when these processes encounter unnatural things regularly and in abundance? Add to this analysis the fact that we rarely get proper nutrition each day. The longer our systems are forced to operate on less, the more susceptible our systems are to disruption and corruption.
Does Corn Provide Nutrition?
Yes. Corn, like all fresh food, provides nutrition. Fiber itself is a nutrient.
Since fiber helps optimize digestion and digestion is how we get nutrients out of food and into our bloodstream, eating fresh food becomes a self-healing prophecy.
Corn is more tender, delicious and nutritious when we eat it uncooked, the way the Creator serves it.
