Corn is on average 62% starch, 3% protein and 7% oil with the rest being indigestible cellulose (except to cows) and lignin (which even cows can't digest) After you take out the starch, there isn't whole lot of food value left. So it has some value, but the bulk of the corn calories are in the starch.

But what I mostly objected to was his statement that distillation only took out the sugar, when you have to cook it and ferment it first convert the starch to sugar and then the sugar to ethanol distillation isn't taking out sugar. It's an oversimplification of a complicated process

[Mr. Lucky]

A bushel of corn used as ethanol feedstock will yield 17 lbs. of distillers dried grains. What nutrients do you expect to find in the corn, other than sugar, that you wouldn't find in the DDG's?
