did i just hear you say corn and beans give u all the amino acids u need?
corn is a starchy veggie.. how can that give u amino acids when those are the building blocks of protein
ever heard of google.com?
i think you should try it out sometime and type in CORN.. and see the results you can get
there are a lot better carb sources out there then corn will be.. such as fibrous veggies like greens or complex like oats, ww bread
just my 2 cents

Corn and beans each contain incomplete amino acid profiles that when combined complete the profile, although there is some debate about "protein combining" and whether it's even necessary to reap the benefits of a certain protein..
There was no need to be a smart@ss, particularly when you're wrong as I explained previously, and will go on to demonstrate further.
Corn IS a complex carb, as are all starches. It's not as nutrient dense as some, but for those of us with sensitive digestive systems, it's very easy on the stomach, and as I pointed out, it'll do the job. I ate grits at breakfast this morning. I'd just get something like potatoes in their too at some point.

Most likely Coeliac disease, which will probably be confirmed tomorrow, as well as lactose intolerence. Basically, I have a reaction to gluten, and I have to stay away from all wheat products, oats, barley, rye, and things of that nature. It sucks because I basically can't eat bread or pasta anymore unless it's labeled gluten free. I figured this out by cutting those foods out completely, and I feel better right now than I have in months. I'd swell up and bloat like no tomorrow, and I'd either be constipated or pooping every 15 minutes.
The skin/lining of the corn passes through you, but you still absorb the nutrients in it or it would have no nutritional value. There's no reason to avoid corn if you like it.

I just did, and look - a whole bunch of sites pimping corn
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=corn
You've seriously got to ease up on the typographical vomit.It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Corn is contaminated with fungus and so are most grains
people think they have celiac disease when their bodies are just reacting to feeding the yeast problems they have. I have posted this site before http://www.know-the-cause.com/ as a reference to the "phase one diet" which controls yeast, fungus, and mold in the body by eliminating sugars, grains, corn , and peanuts. Aindreas has the worst friggin diet I've ever seen and is always giving advice, although he says he has celiac disease and lactose intolerance. Hes obviously not a good source of nutritional info as he just likes to argue and doesnt have his house in order.
Reference the site I posted and learn about the etiology of disease. Most of the "failure to thrive" diseases are caused by mycotoxins eating holes in our intestines and setting off immune reactions.
The so called paleo diet controls fungus as do most keto diets because they eliminate foods(starches) like grains and sugars which these things feed on. Thats why people feel better. In addition there are natural substances which fight fungus in the body. The best is oil of Oregano. The site referenced is run by a "food allergist" with over 30 years experience. He often recommends drugs such as Nysatin and diflucan for short periods to eliminate the infection while using the diet to control it in the future.

Yeah, I don't particularly like rice, so I eat a lot of sweet potatoes. I like redskin potatoes too, it's just the Irish ones I can't stand, ironic considering my ancestry. They make a lot of gluten free breads and hot cereals and whatnot from stuff like sorghum, millet, flax, etc. The banana bread I have right now is millet/flax, for instance.
Greens and fibrous carbs are all well and good, but quantity-wise, you're not gonna get the bang for your buck you would from a starchy vegetable like corn. I mean, you eat sweetpotatoes, don't you? I consider fibrous veggies to be a source of fiber and vitamins and minerals, not a carb source, whereas corn is a carb source.
