Why Diets Disagree on Corn
DASH classifies corn as Allowed because it evaluates foods by sodium content and DASH serving targets. AIP, on the other hand, classifies it as Not Allowed because it evaluates by whether the food contains compounds AIP suspects of provoking immune activity. Different diets use different evaluation criteria, which is why the same food can receive opposite classifications. 7 diets classify corn as Limited — meaning it fits under specific conditions like portion size, preparation method, or brand selection.
