I'm assuming you're here in the United States, not in Britain where the term largely means corn starch. Corn flour has a number of uses. The Mexican version, masa, is a primary ingredient in corn tortillas. Corn flour per se, is used in corn muffins, is sometimes mixed with other kinds of flours in baking to reduce the amount of gluten, and can be used as a thickener. Other forms of ground corn (less finely ground than flour) are used in the South as "grits" and in Europe, mainly Italy, as polenta.

Corn chips are made from ground corn. Corn flour is ground corn just ground very finely. So corn chips probably contain corn flour.

yes corn flour is good for health. But it contains a lot of carbohydrates and a small amount of fats which can make you fat if used daily or in large quantity.
