Why is it that when you eat corn and chew it up it gets shredded into pieces. But when it comes out the other end it's still whole kernals?

  1. ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Isn't that amazing?   It is undigestable fiber and when you are chewing there must be some of them little buggers that slip past your teeth, imagine that!


  2. ewwww eeeeee


  3. umm r u chewwing or swallowing??

  4. It is just the shell of the kernal, It is does not get digested by the body, Therefore it comes out in your doody but there is not corn inside that shell there is ....well you know what is in there....

  5. Try eating creamed corn. MMMM.

  6. Everyone has that question and wonders why....try eating cream corn and watching it form into hole as it comes out.

  7. i dont know its the 8th  of the wonder in this world but if you stick it on your teeth you can make a grill my sister says its cuz it gets reinCORNated in your tummy and comes out whole lol

  8. good question buddie.. here have a star!

  9. Corn is hard to digest.

  10. only occasionally does it do that because as much as u think you chew it up, there can still be almost whole bits in there. :)

  11. It is like the shell of the corn

  12. Omg. Good question. No clue about it though. Same with peas.

    Starred. =]

  13. Not all of it gets chewed and the outer part of kernel does not get chewed, the insides just squeeze out when you chew it. The human body can not digest corn.

  14. i think you think its getting shredded but its not.

  15. probably because not every piece gets shredded to pieces,

    som survive and go down and come out whole

  16. corn is undigestible. period.  

  17. Because the kernels have nothing to digest in them, and your teeth don't "shred" the kernels - just get the goodness out of the inside.

  18. It's doubtful you completely chewed the corn, and the body has a hard time digesting it.

    My question is, why is there corn coming out the other end when I haven't even eaten corn?!

  19. becfause the human appendix does not complete its propper function as a house for bacteria taht can digest fibre

  20. Sometimes u don't know it but you will actually swallow whole kernels without knowing

  21. Because you worship the devil.

  22. Its not magic, you're not chewing it enough.
