Well, here's the deal. I had both a dentist and a GP tell me now to eat it. I didn't listen, until I found out it was corn making me sick.

My dentist said it's one of the top reasons why older people need crowns- they hit an unpopped kernel and pow- their old fillings just shatter.

My GP said the vapors cause lung disease, the plastic coated bags many people pop their corn in cause cancer, the kernels can beat up your intestines and even get stuck there. My GP said it has been implicated in appendicitis and this:

On top of that, corn is a crap food- since it is a "fattener"- which is why we use it to fatten animals. Unfortunately it creates an immune response in animals just like it does in us- and it irritates the GI tract. I don't think it's much of a snack for anyone.
