What is Dark DNA? Dark DNA is the genetic code in the human genome that currently has no known original source. We have traced 8% of the human genome to viruses. 1-2% of our genome comes from other animals. Believe it or not you share 55% of your genetic code with a banana â and thatâs not just men.
Health Benefits of Corn. A medium ear of corn, 6 3/4 inches to 7 1/2 inches long, has about 2.5 grams of fiber and 99 calories. The American Heart Association recommends eating 25 grams of fiber per day.
So in the example of the corn, there are 12 grams of fiber. This leaves 111 grams of carbs times 4 calories = 444 calories from carbohydrates. There are 16 grams of protein in the 166 gram quantity and protein is also counted @4 calories per gram, so 4x16= 64 calories from protein. Fat is considered to have 9 calories per gram and the cup of corn contains 8 grams of fat, so 8x9=72 calories from fat.
