The
FDA declares in this article that HFCS (made from cornstarch) is ".
. . essentially 100% glucose.” [emphasis added] Glucose is blood sugar naturally present in
all living organisms, and is essential for their survival. Therefore, the FDA is implying that consuming
HFCS is essential for our survival.

Glucose (the lifeblood of all living organisms):
"Glucose
homeostasis is of critical importance to human health due to the central
importance of glucose as a source of energy, and the fact that brain tissues do
not synthesize it. Thus maintaining
adequate glucose levels in the blood are necessary for survival. [emphasis added] On the other hand, inappropriate levels of
glucose in the blood are a primary symptom of diabetes, a major degenerative
disease in society."

The FDA then
states in this article:
“We
are not aware of any evidence, [emphasis added] including the studies mentioned above, [no cited studies] that there
is a difference in safety between foods containing HFCS 42 or HFCS 55 and foods
containing similar amounts of other nutritive sweeteners with approximately
equal glucose and fructose content, such as sucrose, honey, or other
traditional sweeteners.”
HFCS is not necessary
for survival, so why would the FDA imply this?

High Fructose Corn Syrup and Agave “Nectar”"
“Leaving this
obvious difference aside, the industry
would have the public believe that the fructose in fruit and in HFCS are
chemically identical. However, in
the chemical processing of high fructose corn syrup, the polarity of the
molecule is flipped; the fructose in HFCS is not the same isomer as that of
fructose in fruit. Moreover, in nature,
fructose occurs as di and olgio saccharides, not free fructose, and this
fructose sugar comes as a complex with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, pectin
and fiber whereas enzymatically produced fructose does not. [emphasis added]

CORRECTION
REQUIRED IN 21CFR182.1866
The following critical error was discovered in 21CFR182.1866 (a), which endangers the lives of corn-allergic citizens.
21CFR182.1866
(a), High fructose corn syrup
Sec. 182.1866 High fructose corn syrup.
(a) Product. High fructose corn syrup is a
sweet, nutritive saccharide mixture containing approximately 52 percent (dry
weight) glucose, 43 percent (dry weight) fructose, and 5 percent (dry weight)
other saccharides. It is prepared as a clear aqueous solution from high dextrose
equivalent corn starch hydrolysate by partial enzymatic conversion of glucose
(dextrose) to fructose utilizing an insoluble glucose isomerase enzyme
preparation described in Sec. 184.1372 of this chapter.
The FDA is erroneously equating blood sugar present in all living organisms (glucose) with corn sugar manufactured from cornstarch (dextrose/D-glucose) in this CFR.
(a) ". . . conversion of glucose (dextrose) to fructose . .
."
Since
dextrose is defined as corn sugar manufactured from cornstarch/D-glucose in
21CFR184.1857, the FDA must correct this statement to read:
https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/CFRSearch.cfm?fr=184.1857
". . . conversion of corn sugar (dextrose) to fructose . . ." –OR–
“. . . conversion of D-glucose

https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CFR-1996-title21-vol3/html/CFR-1996-title21-vol3-sec182-1866.htm
What are the
risks to corn-allergic patients of equating corn sugar manufactured from
cornstarch (dextrose/D-glucose) with glucose (blood sugar naturally present in
all living organisms)?
Even though dextrose (corn sugar/D-glucose)-containing IV solutions are clearly contraindicated for administration to corn-allergic patients in the package insert, too many clinicians claim that “No one can be allergic to dextrose, since it’s naturally present in our body.” Corn-allergic patients should not be required to assume the responsibility of educating our clinicians to guarantee our safety.
Since dextrose (corn sugar/D-glucose) is often the carbohydrate-of-choice utilized as a glucose (blood sugar)-elevating agent in some IV solutions, this is the reason these solutions are contraindicated for administration to corn-allergic patients in the package insert.

“DEXTROSE or
refined corn sugar is a relatively new sweetening and preserving agent in the
food industries. It was not until 1922 that Newkirk made possible the
commercial manufacture of dextrose by his special crystallization process.
Refined dextrose is made by converting highly purified starch with hydrochloric
acid. Anhydrous dextrose is prepared by
recrystallization of the hydrated dextrose, ground very fine and heated to
600C. to remove the molecule of water of crystallization. This is the form of
dextrose used for intravenous injections and in various pharmaceutical and
medicinal preparations.”

What are the risks to corn-allergic consumers of equating corn sugar manufactured from cornstarch (dextrose/D-glucose) with glucose (blood sugar naturally present in all living organisms)?
Some food manufacturers/retailers are claiming their products are free from corn even though the product contains dextrose. They are equating dextrose (corn sugar) with blood sugar naturally present in all living organisms (glucose).
Some food manufacturers/retailers are listing “glucose syrup” as an ingredient on their label, when the label should indicate “dextrose.” They are erroneously equating dextrose (corn sugar) with blood sugar naturally present in all living organisms (glucose).
Some food manufacturers/retailers are claiming that dextrose can be derived from sources other than corn; e.g., tapioca-derived dextrose, rice-derived dextrose, etc. [FALSE] The only source of dextrose is corn.

Dextrose (corn
sugar manufactured from cornstarch/D-glucose) is an FDA-approved “food additive”
that is generally recognized as safe (GRAS); therefore, dextrose cannot be
naturally present in the human body or in any other food product.
If
you reference “Dextrose” on the FDA’s Food Additive Status List, it refers to
21CFR184.1857.
https://www.fda.gov/food/food-additives-petitions/food-additive-status-list#ftnD
If
you reference 21CFR184.1857, the definition is “Corn sugar.”

The Corn Refiners Association correctly identifies corn-derived sweeteners with the requisite “D-“ modifier (DE for dextrose equivalent). This critical modifier has been omitted from many published articles over many decades, which is the reason that corn-derived sweeteners are being erroneously equated with blood sugar (glucose).

Reminder: Dextrose (corn sugar/D-glucose) is an FDA-approved “food additive” that is manufactured from allergenic cornstarch, 21CFR184.1857. Dextrose is not naturally occurring, but is manufactured corn sugar. Dextrose can never be “naturally present” in any other food product, and it can never be “naturally present” in mammals.

Wikipedia:
Wikipedia warns against citing their articles.
If the reader references "dextrose" on Wikipedia, the reader is erroneously redirected to "glucose." Glucose (blood sugar naturally present in all living organisms) must never be equated with dextrose (corn sugar manufactured from cornstarch/D-glucose).
1. Wikipedia has been notified of this critical error.
2. Wikipedia banned me from my talk page when I provided documentation that dextrose (corn sugar) must never be equated with glucose (blood sugar). The vitriolic rhetoric from Wikipedia contributors was quite remarkable. (Copy of transcript saved).
3. Wikipedia rejected my dextrose page submission.
4. Before I was banned from my talk page, a Wikipedia contributor actually endangered my life by claiming that dextrose can be derived from other food sources; and specifically recommended “Mike’s Mix Tapioca Dextrose.” (also falsely advertised as containing no corn). For the protection of corn-allergic consumers, I have exchanged over 40 emails with Mike’s Mix. They refuse to correct their labeling or their “corn-free” claim. Did this Wikipedia contributor have a financial interest in this product?https://mikesmixture.com/products/tapioca-dextrose
5. Based on the statement from this Wikipedia contributor, I conducted an oral challenge of one level tsp. of “organic tapioca dextrose.” This product was actually tapioca starch to which corn sugar in the form of dextrose equivalent (DE) was added. I suffered an acute, 8-hour allergic reaction to this product requiring two antihistamines and two prednisone tablets. I filed a report with my FDA state consumer complaint coordinator; however, they indicated that they could not address this issue, and referred my complaint to the FDA’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition. I also filed reports of other companies that were falsely claiming that dextrose (corn sugar) was derived from tapioca. To date, no corrective action has been taken by the FDA.

Summary:
For the safety of corn-allergic citizens, it is critical that the FDA immediately cease equating HFCS (manufactured from allergenic cornstarch) with glucose (blood sugar naturally present in all living organisms, which is essential for survival).
For the safety of corn-allergic citizens, it is critical that the FDA correct 21CFR182.1866 (a) to be in compliance with 21CFR184.1857.
For the safety
of corn-allergic citizens, it is critical that the FDA revisit the molecular
formula that has been assigned to corn sugar manufactured from cornstarch
(dextrose/D-glucose) in 21CFR184.1857.
It appears that the correct molecular formula should be C6H14O7, as
summarized in my “Open Letter to the FDA.”
https://cornallergyadvocacyresources.blogspot.com/2021/01/my-january-6-2021-open-letter-to-fda-re.html
For the safety
of corn-allergic citizens, it is critical that the FDA investigate ingredient
suppliers who are falsely equating dextrose (corn sugar/D-glucose) with glucose
(blood sugar naturally present in all living organisms); e.g., ADM and Cargill.
For the safety of corn-allergic citizens, it is critical that the FDA investigate food retailers/manufacturers who claim their products are “corn free,” even though the product contains dextrose.
For the safety of corn-allergic citizens, it is critical that the FDA investigate food retailers/manufacturers who falsely claim that dextrose can be derived from a food source other than corn..
DEXTROSE IS CORN SUGAR MANUFACTURED FROM CORNSTARCH (D-GLUCOSE),
21CFR184.1857. IT MUST NEVER BE EQUATED
WITH GLUCOSE (BLOOD SUGAR NATURALLY PRESENT IN ALL LIVING ORGANISMS, WHICH IS ESSENTIAL
FOR SURVIVAL).
HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP IS ALSO MANUFACTURED FROM
CORNSTARCH, 21CFR182.1866; THEREFORE, HFCS MUST NEVER BE EQUATED WITH GLUCOSE
(BLOOD SUGAR NATURALLY PRESENT IN ALL LIVING ORGANISMS, WHICH IS ESSENTIAL FOR
SURVIVAL).
