What are the disadvantages of eating corn?
Corn is overall a great addition to your diet. However, that is unless you have an allergy to this golden veg. If that's the case, Rissetto says to steer clear of corn. While it's a relatively uncommon allergy, some groups might be sensitive to the vegetable and can experience symptoms like hives, itching, wheezing, or in severe cases, anaphylaxis when consumed. Additionally, corn is considered a starchy vegetable that can potentially raise blood sugar levels.
, that can hinder your body from absorbing other essential nutrients, like iron and zinc, as well as it should. However, soaking the vegetable can help remove and reduce the levels of phytate present. Corn is also susceptible to contamination by fungi that release toxins called mycotoxins. However, proper food safety regulation and sourcing should prevent this type of corn contamination in most cases.In Melton's opinion, the fear over GMOs is unfounded .
