Dextrose”

DEXTROSE MONOHYDRATE:
The liquid form of corn sugar produced from cornstarch/D-glucose,
21CFR184.1857.
“Monohydrate: A substance containing one water
molecule of hydration.”
https://www.chem.ucla.edu/~harding/IGOC/M/monohydrate.html
DEXTROSE ANHYDROUS:
The dry form of corn sugar produced from cornstarch/D-glucose, 21CFR184.1857.
“Anhydrous: Without water; dry.”
https://www.chem.ucla.edu/~harding/IGOC/A/anhydrous.html
The
NIH declares that cornstarch sugar (dextrose/D-glucose) is also naturally
present in the bodies of humans diagnosed with an IgE-mediated allergy to corn,
and is essential to the survival of corn-allergic consumers and patients.
“A primary source of energy for living organisms.”
Rebuttal: Glucose is the “primary
source of energy for living organisms”
“It is naturally occurring and is found in fruits and
other parts of plants in its free state.”
Rebuttal: This entire statement is incorrect. It is manufactured in a laboratory from
cornstarch, 21CFR184.1857, therefore, it is not “naturally occurring,” and is
not found in any living organism in its free state.”
“It is used therapeutically in fluid and nutrient
replacement."
Rebuttal: Dextrose monohydrate
is used therapeutically in fluid and nutrient replacement.
A simple sugar monosaccharide having two isoforms,
alpha and beta, with a chemical structure of C6H12O6 that acts as an energy source for both plants and animals by reacting with
oxygen, generating carbon dioxide and water, and releasing energy.
Rebuttal: This is a decades-long false narrative that corn-allergic
citizens are challenging. Starch-derived
formulations are polysaccharides – NOT monosaccharides. Glucose – NOT dextrose – is the “energy
source for both plants and animals.”
WHAT IS STARCH?
Polysaccharide, molecular formula (C6H10O5)n.

What
is glucose?

CRITICAL:
Glucose (natural blood sugar) CANNOT also be utilized as a glucose
(natural blood sugar)-elevating agent; therefore, dextrose (cornstarch
sugar/D-glucose) was developed for this purpose.
The anhydrous form of D-glucose, a natural
monosaccharide [FALSE; it is a manufactured polysaccharide] and
carbohydrate. Dextrose serves to replenish lost nutrients and electrolytes . .
. and is used in intravenous (IV) fluids [FALSE; dextrose monohydrate is utilized
for this purpose] to provide nutrients to patients under intensive care who
are unable to receive them by the oral route.
“Solutions containing dextrose restore blood glucose
levels” [CORRECT: This accurately identifies that dextrose is utilized as a
glucose (blood sugar)-elevating agent.].”
Code of Federal Regulation 21CFR184.1857(a)
“Corn
sugar . . . commonly called D-glucose or dextrose, [emphasis added] is the
chemical α-D-glucopyranose. It occurs as the anhydrous or the monohydrate
form and is produced by the complete hydrolysis of corn starch [emphasis
added] with safe and suitable acids or enzymes, followed by refinement and
crystallization from the resulting hydrolysate.

CRITICAL:
The erroneous molecular formula, C6H12O6, has been applied to this
starch-derived formulation, 21CFR184.1857.
The
U.S. Pharmacopeia blocked my X account for questioning the date of this
decision and for challenging the CAS Reg. No. and molecular formula applied to
21CFR184.1857.
"EP and JP refer to Dextrose as “Glucose” . . ."
https://www.usp.org/harmonization-standards/pdg/excipients/dextrose
If the U.S. Pharmacopeia, or ANY regulatory agency, receive funding from the corn industry, they are deemed “compromised.”
HOW DO GLUCOSE-ELEVATING AGENTS WORK?
"Parenteral dextrose consists of oxidized carbon dioxide and water and provides
d-glucose." [emphasis added]
https://www.rxlist.com/glucose-elevating_agents/drug-class.htm
Conversion of Corn to Dextrose:
"Corn must first be converted to corn sugar (dextrose, the common
commercial name for D-glucose) . . ." [emphasis added]

For
the safety of corn-allergic consumers and patients, we would appreciate your
cooperation in amending this PubChem document. https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/#query=anhydrous%20dextrose
There are nearly 20K members in corn allergy support groups (nearly double the
membership in sesame seed allergy support groups).
CORN-ALLERGIC PATIENTS WILL NO LONGER
TOLERATE CLINICIANS TELLING US: “DEXTROSE IS NATURALLY PRESENT IN HUMANS.”
In addition, CLINICIANS CAN BE SUED FOR MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
for injecting dextrose (cornstarch sugar/D-glucose) into a corn-allergic
patient in direct violation of the contraindication warning in the package
insert.
Sincerely,
