Food of the Week . . . Corn
Did you know that a one cup serving of sweet yellow corn contains 356 IU or 7% of your daily value for vitamin A and 108 mcg of beta-carotene, neither of which are found in white corn? Along with vitamin A and beta-carotene, yellow corn contains other carotenoid phytonutrients, such as beta-cryptoxanthin, lutein and zeaxanthin, which act as powerful antioxidants to help combat harmful free radical activity and prevent various degenerative diseases. A serving of corn also provides 18% of the daily value for fiber. Diets high in fiber-rich foods like corn have been shown to lower high cholesterol levels, reduce the risk of colon cancer, and alleviate some of the uncomfortable symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. And since corn is also tasty and fun to eat, it is a great addition to your Healthier Way of Eating—especially for those summer BBQs and picnics! Read More ...
