Nothing.: If you are eaten millet that has not been hulled you will likely not be able to digest it (this form appears in bird seed). If it is hulled you may eat it without any problem. Do not eat in excess (in any form) because it may affect thyroid function, and cause goiter. http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/71/1/59.full
