Very little of the corn consumed in the U.S. is consumed as whole corn. Mostly it's consumed along with a lot of other stuff. In the case of corn chips for example, you have increased fat and salt.
Assuming whole corn consumption without the added butter, salt, cheese etc., you still have to consider that corn has a high glycemic load, contributing to blood sugar spikes, which contribute to the accretion of abdominal fat, calories not withstanding. Abdominal fat is a primary contributor to both diabetes and heart disease.
By the way, the proteins in corn are incomplete. You need to add beans or a meat source to complete them.
