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.
You need 14 grams of fiber in your diet for every 1,000 calories you consume, explains the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Based on an 1,800-calorie diet, you need 25 grams of fiber each day. Corn tortillas and whole-grain bread have more than double the fiber content of flour tortillas and white bread.
