Grilled Corn and Its Health Problems: A Popular Winter Dish That May Not Be Suitable for Everyone, and Who Should Avoid It?
In winter, boiled corn and steamed corn become a popular snack for many people because they are warm, delicious, and easy to find. However, not everyone can enjoy this dish to their heart’s content, especially on a cold day.
Here are 5 groups of people who “shouldn’t” eat corn in winter to maintain the best health, according to a report on the news website of Đài Tiếng Nói Việt Nam (VOV) or Vietnam Radio.
People with weak digestive systems
Corn contains cellulose, which is a fiber that is difficult to digest. Eating too much corn can cause bloating and indigestion, especially for those with weak digestive systems. In winter, digestion is often reduced due to low temperatures, making eating corn more likely to cause digestive problems.
People with gastritis or colitis
Corn can stimulate the stomach lining, increasing the secretion of stomach acid, which may cause discomfort for people with gastritis or irritable bowel syndrome. Corn also contains indigestible fiber, which may increase the burden on the stomach. In particular, people with inflammatory bowel disease should avoid corn, as the cellulose in corn is difficult to digest, which may cause inflammation of the colon and increase the risk of infection or other complications.
People with diabetes
Corn, especially sweet corn or processed corn, has a relatively high glycemic index (GI). This means that when you eat corn, your body converts the starch in the corn into glucose, causing your blood sugar level to rise rapidly. An uncontrolled rise can lead to dangerous complications, such as heart disease, kidney disease, neurological problems, and other complications.

People who are allergic to corn protein
Some people may be allergic to corn proteins. When people who are allergic eat or come into contact with corn, their immune system mistakes the corn proteins for something harmful and releases antibodies to fight them. This can cause allergic reactions, which can range from mild to severe, including hives, generalized itching, difficulty breathing, swelling of the mouth, tongue or throat, and in rare cases, anaphylactic shock, which can be life-threatening.
