Salam,
No one knows the answer. Oh come on...I eat sweetcorn everyday. I need to know whether the goodness over weighs the not so goodness.(if that makes any sense).
Wasalam

Key benefits of sweetcorn
Sweetcorn is a good source of folate. It also helps protect against age-related macular degeneration and helps fight free radicals in the retina. It provides more starch and more calories than most vegetables. It is high in iron and potassium. It is also a good food for steadying blood sugar.
How much sweetcorn should you eat?
Sweetcorn is fairly high in calories. An average portion of 85g a day should be sufficient to derive the benefits from sweetcorn.
Maximising the benefits of sweetcorn
Zeaxanthin is best absorbed by the body when eaten together with some fat. Baby sweetcorn is high in folate, which can be destroyed by lengthy cooking.

I think in moderation sweetcorn is fine. It is composed of sugars which convert to starches a few days after being picked. I think eating sweetcorn in excess could be harmful. It would be similar to eating a lot of potatoes or any other high starch food.

All corn is edible. Sweet corn is raised for human consumption. It is sweet and tender. Field corn is raised for livestock consumption. It is tough and bland. If you drive throughout the Midwest and see cornfields, chances are that it's field corn and you don't want to eat it.
