Boiled corn stigma can lower blood pressure and blood lipid?
No!
The so-called corn stigma is actually the pollen tube of corn. As a part of plant reproductive organs, corn stigma does contain complex chemical components, such as flavonoids, amino acids, minerals and some amino acids.
However, at present, it is difficult for these substances to directly act on the metabolic system of the human body.
Whether it is effective in human beings is still unknown. Not to mention the few animal experiments themselves have many problems such as too small a sample size and no subsequent repeated experiments.
In short, there is still no definite evidence for the effect of boiled corn stigma on reducing the three highs. Drink a little, but don’t delay normal medication because of this.
Is sweet corn, purple corn and flower corn genetically modified?
Sweet corn has a very long history of planting, and purple corn and flower corn are also genetic changes of corn itself, which has nothing to do with transgenic technology itself.
Moreover, China has not approved the commercial cultivation of this kind of genetically modified corn, so it is unlikely to buy genetically modified sweet corn on the market.
To sum up, corn is quite nutritious and delicious, but don’t expect to use corn stigma boiling water to control the three highs, and diabetics should pay attention not to eat too much.
If you make pine nuts, corn, corn flipping and other dishes, remember to reduce the staple food.
Also, the next time you cook corn, remember to use the tips provided by Dr. Shi Jun.
