Yellow Corn is Good for U
Research from Purdue University (located in West Lafayette, Indiana) revealed that milled yellow corn products (NOT processed corn products found in junk food) such as cornmeal, grits and corn flour are rich in two antioxidants, zeaxanthin and lutein. These two particular antioxidants protect our eyes and skin from everyday UV (ultraviolet) damage. Furthermore, yellow corn is full of various other antioxidants as well, that we’re only now beginning to understand. Bottom line here… eat whole food, such as corn, that have plenty of natural color in them; that’s where a lot of the health protective antioxidants can be found.
Steam or boil corn briefly to maintain the cholesterol and blood sugar lowering benefits of the kernels and don’t ruin the health benefits of sweet corn-on-the-cob by bathing it in some fatty substance, such as butter or margarine.
FYI: processed corn products are garbage. Eat the whole kernel!
