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.
Corn tortillas have a beneficial effect on your digestive tract, thanks to their fiber content. Fiber absorbs water and prevents excessively hard stool that can contribute to constipation. A diet rich in fiber also fights hemorrhoids and helps control diverticular disease. Every 2-ounces of corn tortillas provide 6.3 grams of dietary fiber. This makes up roughly 25 and 17 percent of the daily fiber intake respectively recommended for women and men, according to Colorado State University.
