Corn is also rich in folate, a B vitamin, which helps to lower levels of homocysteine, an amino acid that is a by product in an important metabolic process (called the methylation cycle). High levels of homocysteine can damage blood vessels leading to a heart attack, stroke, or peripheral vascular disease. A cup of corn can provide 19 percent of the daily recommended value for folate.
A Cancer fighter: Corn contains beta-cryptoxanthin, a carotenoid with antioxidant properties that can be associated with reduced risk of lung cancer.
