Depends how much of it you eat. Although sweetcorn has something of a reputation for 'passing through' in a relatively pristine condition, most of what you eat will be digested. And then the clue's in the name - sweet.

There's 19g of carbs in 100g of sweetcorn so you should bear that in mind.

I love the stuff, but it's a rare treat these days because it does seem to affect my numbers, in the wrong way.

I buy the pack of four small sweetcorn from the freezer isle for £1. Tesco are the best Morrisons you get the ends.

But remember, sweet potato has lower GI than potato without the word sweet in its name. 🙂

I always count the carb in sweetcorn. Have a look on the tin. It's a bit harder when it's on the cob tho. Shame, cos it's nicer.🙂
