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.
Popcorn is especially rich in insoluble fiber, containing 1.9 grams of insoluble fiber in every 3-cup serving. This is as much insoluble fiber as you would get from eating one small, unpeeled apple or a 3/4-cup serving of cooked oat bran. Insoluble fiber does not absorb water in the digestive tract.
