Eating Corn

[jjmcray]

Ok so I'm sure you all know that our bodies can't fully digest corn.

So this brought up a question to my friends and I:

What would happen if you only ate corn (and drank water, of course) for a week or so?

Any thoughts? Experiences?

Well, the issue with corn is that it comes out partially undigested, right? It's not that it hurts our bodies in any way?

Based on that, I think you'd react about the same way as if you only ate some other random food. Maybe only apples, or only iceberg lettuce. You probably wouldn't be feeling up to par because you wouldn't be getting all the nutrients you need, and you probably wouldn't want to see corn ever again. xP If you kept it up for long enough, you'd probably start suffering from some form of malnutrition. Headaches from a lack of protein, that sort of thing. You couldn't survive indefinitely off of just corn and water, that's for sure.

Yeah. You're body only takes what it needs from food. And like whats-his-face said, you'd suffer from some form of malnutrition. You might get scurvy! Arr. lol
