Good afternoon
Please tell me what skin types is corn suitable for?
I really like boiled and canned corn, so I don’t think it’s very healthy for me. It contains enough calories and is absorbed quickly. I try not to buy corn oil at all, because I also really like its taste and smell, so you unwittingly eat extra if you use it instead of regular salted oil.
It seems to me that corn is very difficult on the stomach, therefore, despite its fortified composition, it has a number of limitations, especially for those who have gastritis and digestive problems.
