Neither a Health Food nor a Vegetable

Not only is cornbread extremely high on the glycemic index (105!!), but a single serving contains more than 56 grams of carbs and 22 grams of sugar. What's more, it's loaded with omega-6 fatty acids, which promote inflammation.

Cornbread is far from health food - and despite being classified as a "vegetable" in country diners, it's not. So double down on those fresh, steamed collard greens and keep the cornbread basket at bay if you don't want your health to go, well... South.
