Corn is one area that I don't stick to the straight and narrow. We rarely eat grains in my house, however we do occasionally indulge in an ear of fresh corn this time of year. I actually have less trouble with an ear of corn than with a serving of grain. We also occasionally use some Trader Joe's roasted corn in stews and sprouted corn tortillas, again in small, measured amounts. There is a lot of newer research about resistant starches including corn, and it may be an easier glycemic hit than originally thought. For us it was worth experimenting carefully, as I said it's not by the book. (based both on SBD and a diabetic diet). I wouldn't touch processed corn though, any more than I would any processed grain.

Thank you for your post!
Ok, I feel pretty good about it then. I dont eat processed corn and even before SB I didn't. I just would like to eat it every now and then and not have to avoid something because it has it in it. I hope by the time fresh corn season rolls around for me again, I'll be pretty close to goal.
I have never heard of sprouted corn and have read that sprouted grains have a lower GI than not sprouted, so I assume corn is the same way.
I bought a bag of organic tortilla chips that's made with all sorts of different grains and the last ingredient was ground corn. I've eaten them twice with in the last month and haven't had any issues. But corn isn't something I'd normally have trouble with.

Thanks for looking that up and thanks for posting this thread, it's something I've been meaning to ask about but I can never remember to do it.
I don't have the supercharged book, I have the 2003 book. I get all my updated information from the FYI in this forum.
