I have arrived at the conclusion that there is no benefit whatsoever to eating corn in any of its numerous forms. The human body doesn't even seem to digest it. Anyone have any evidence to the contrary?

How exactly did you "arrive" at this conclusion? A quick google search brings up a ton of info on this. Are you not in agreement with many of the articles and studies found by Googling? Or, do you just want to argue your thoughts here with fellow CD members?
I'm not about to do research but for the most part I avoid corn products. High starch for one thing and a lot of corn products are probably GMO's. As I see it, the greener the vegetable, the better.

I am avoiding processed foods containing corn derivatives like the plague these days. I consumed them in the past when I was uninformed.
Being on a voluntary low carb diet even organically grown corn seems like a questionable thing to eat. I've been advised to avoid root vegetables, corn, peas and beans by other people I know who are pursuing either low carb, paleo or keto diets. I like all of those vegetables but to stay true to low carb I am trying to scale them back. I am reluctant to give up carrots, peas and beans so I have been avoiding the corn and the other root vegetables.
Corn is the second most genetically modified food behind soybeans and it is heavily processed into many unhealthy forms such as high fructose corn syrup. While organically grown sweet corn does provide some nutrients, in all cases there are better sources for any of those ingredients from other alternatives in the plant world. The more research I do into the super-foods the less beneficial foods like potato, beans and corn appear to be. At best corn seems to be a questionable dietary choice from a nutritional point of view.
Well air popped popcorn is a relatively low calorie snack that fills you up. Corn contains fiber, which is also good. And I eat it because I like it. But I consider it a starch and don't eat additional starches with it usually.
I haven't eaten it since allergy test showed I was allergic to it 32 years ago and my health is fine without it. There are many other vegetables I'd rather eat anyway.
I always look forward to August when fresh picked corn can be had at local roadside stands,bring some home and a quick boil,some butter and salt a you got some mighty fine eating IMO. http://www.nebraskacorn.org/wp-conte...Sweet-Corn.jpg
Corn is pretty good in magnesium--211 mg/serving. Has lutein--good for the eyes. A lot of fiber and that's good for digestion. Lots of antioxidants. Low to moderate glycemic index.
Corn, yellow Nutrition Facts & Calories
Consumption of corn in ordinary amounts of 1-2 cups has been shown to be associated with better blood sugar control in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
If corn was a staple of the Americas for thousands of years, and was revered by the Native Americans, can it be that bad? If you're talking about junk food made with corn, that's bad, but that summertime treat, fresh corn on the cob is good for you. Probably frozen corn kernels are good for you and cornbread is very good for you.
