Starch In Corn Promotes Weight Gain
The USDA dietary guidelines classify corn as one of the most starchy vegetable. One study, published in PLoS Medicine in 2015, looked at the dietary patterns of 133,468 people in the United States and analyzed how eating fruits and vegetables impacted weight gain over a 24-year period. They found that people who ate more starchy veggies were more likely to have gained the most weight during that time.
