What's the point in eating sweetcorn?

[MrsJamin]

... if it passes straight through you?! (sorry if TMI) 10 MO DS loves gnawing on a section of corn on the cob, but like adults, it goes straight through him. Does he get any nutrition or energy from it?!

'cos it's lovely

I'm with Guys.

I luuurve sweatcorn.

An excuse to eat melted butter and salt...

A way to justify eating some junk afterwards...

it's just the husk that passes through, the good stuff gets absorbed

well not all of it goes straight through...

ok I answered my own question a bit - it can prevent cancer!

Good for the jaws and some fibre gets through. Also has certain vitamins, not sure what.

To entertain one self 12 hours later.

It's yummy and that's enough for me.
