No! Cornmeal is not a bad carb, especially if you use organic cornmeal with the corn bran and corngerm still included. It is a gluten-free whole grain that is high in fiber. Cornmeal becomes unhealthy when it is added to recipes high in saturated fat or added sugar. To keep cornmeal healthy, combine it with other nutrient-rich ingredients, and avoid butter, oils, processed sugars, and dairy products high in saturated fat.
