Question 1

is it good to eat sweetcorn every day? will it increase body weight?

Accepted Answer

I think corn: is a fine food: it is rich in anti-oxidants, contains carotenoids which may be good for your eyes, has some fiber so helps with digestive regularity. You could eat it every day as one of your 5+ vegetables. If you don't exceed calories needed to maintain weight, you will not gain weight just because some of them are from corn. Enjoy this yummy vegetable (watch the salt and butter!). Good wishes:)

Question 2

why has my urine started to smell like sweetcorn :/?

Accepted Answer

Just Add Butter: It means you've been going to too many movies. And anyways, I don't know what sweet corn smells like to you.Popcorn? Canned corn soup? Corn smothered in agave syrup? But I do know it doesn't smell like your usual, every day, run of the mill, boring urine. right? So if it sticks around too long, go get it checked. It's probably something you ate, but it might be due to a more serious condition.

Question 3

Question 4

i ate sweetcorn for dinner last night approx 14 hours ago and ive already passed it in my stool. is that normal to be that quick? stool was normal. ive read that 24-36 hours is normal and healthy to pass corn after eating it?

Accepted Answer

: 24-36 hr is normal for many people, but sometimes foods can transit the entire intestine and show up in stool in as little as 2-4 hours. If you're otherwise feeling well and have mostly normal bowel movements, probably nothing is wrong.

Introducing foods: At 7 months, you can definitely introduced pureed meats.  You should always introduce foods one a time to make sure a child is not allergic to a food.

Question 7

is stevia, splenda, or nectresse (erythritol, sugar, monk fruit extract, molasses) or aspartame safe during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Generally yes: There is no specific problem w/aspartame in pregnancy according to the nih. It does not cross the placenta, and is not a risk to you unless you have phenylketonuria - a rare genetic disorder. However, it is always prudent to limit all meds, supplements and the like during pregnancy except as instructed by your ob>.

Question 8

ingredients: potato powder, potato starch, modified food starch, vegetable oil. is it healthy?

Accepted Answer

REALLY UNHEALTHY!!!: This is recipe for disaster. Potatoes are in the environmental working group's dirty dozen foods-they're high in pesticides if not organic & are readily converted to sugar so raise blood sugar, causing weight gain & increased risk of diabetes. Generic "vegetable oil" is almost certainly corn, soy or canola which are all gmo if not organic & very toxic, fried potatoes have carcinogenic acrylamides.

Question 9

is eating potato chips everyday unhealthy?

Accepted Answer

Moderation: While daily potato chips  won&#x27;t poison you, they  are  not the healthiest snack choice, as they are high in fat, sodium and calories. Why  not moderate your intake of potato chips with fruit and nuts as snack choices?

Question 10

tounge hurts when eating ketchup & bbq sauce. why?

Accepted Answer

Acid Irritation: The acidity of the ketchup and bbq sauce may be irritating your tongue.  The same benign virus that causes cold sores (hsv-1) can often cause small ulcers on the tongue, and if they are present, foods like those mentioned can irritate you.
