Sweetcorn.... why?
Ok, we all know when you eat sweetcorn it comes out exactly the same as it went in.... so what's the point? Does the body actually extract anything from it at all?

It is only the skin around the sweetcorn which comes out again. The body has trouble breaking that part of it down, the same as tomato seeds.

There is a civet cat that eats coffee beans and it passes out from the rear. The bean is collected and is supposed to make the most expensive coffee (kopi luwak) in the world (£23 for 100 g,). I'm sure there must be a market for your sweet corn (jagon luwak?). Collect it, and pack it, and as they say, 'The world's your oyster', or 'The world's your throne' or something like that.

hi lisa
They say it comes out the way it goes in as we are not able to digest it properally. But people also say that it can be one of your 5 daily fruit or veg portions. So it must be good in some ways. :)

Most people don't chew their food properly because they eat to fast.Chew it up to get the nutritional value.

what you see when it comes out is the shell, the body uses the inside of the kernel.
