In brief, corn has two noticeable elements you may really want: 1. Plant fiber (it moves through your digestive system and helps to move other stuff along) that you do not digest, but is not harmful; and 2. enzymes (and oils you use to cook corn in) that your pancreas likes. In short, your body breaks down the starch molecules in corn to create a type of sugar your body wants.

If you are concerned about keeping calories down with this craving, try popcorn with as little oil as possible, no butter (lightly salted, use iodized salt to help your thyroid along.)
