Healthline [NO MEDICAL LICENSE] Claims that Cornstarch Sugar {Dextrose) is Produced Naturally in the Human Body

 [Revised May 4, 2025]


"Dextrose is a sugar that your body produces naturally." [FALSE]

DEXTROSE FACTS:

Dextrose (cornstarch sugar/D-glucose) is an FDA-approved food/drug additive; e.g., utilized as a glucose (blood sugar)-elevating agent to treat hypoglycemic patients. Since cornstarch is highly allergenic to corn-allergic consumers/patients, dextrose-containing IV fluids are contraindicated for administration to corn-allergic patients in the package insert.

 

Code of Federal Regulation 21CFR184.1857
“Corn sugar . . . commonly called D-glucose or dextrose, is . . . produced by the complete hydrolysis of corn starch . . .”
https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-21/chapter-I/subchapter-B/part-184/subpart-B/section-184.1857

 

Corn Sugar Hearings, Sixty-Ninth Congress, January 27, 1926
". . . that corn sugar is what is chemically known as dextrose . . ." [emphasis added]

DESCRIPTION
"Dextrose is derived from corn." [emphasis added]

Conversion of Corn to Dextrose:
"Corn must first be converted to corn sugar (dextrose, the common commercial name for D-glucose) . . ." [emphasis added]

Published in a Medical Journal:
"Dextrose-containing solutions pose a significant risk to patients allergic to corn. Dextrose used for IV fluids is prepared by . . . hydrolysis of cornstarch."

Golisano Children's Hospital warns of the danger of dextrose and cornstarch (noted in introduction).
Scroll down to "Dextrose (Food and Drug Uses)"
https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/childrens-hospital/nutrition/corn-free.aspx

 

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.

Administering cornstarch sugar (dextrose/D-glucose)-containing IV fluids to a corn-allergic pt. is equivalent to administering penicillin to a pt. with an allergy to penicillin. This critical medical error is subject to reporting and disclosure.

Nutritive Sweeteners From Corn, Corn Refiners Association
Corn-derived sweeteners are NOT "naturally present" in ANY living organism, and can prove fatal to corn-allergic citizens.

Corn Refiners Association
"Intravenous Solution
Patients with low blood sugar are often given IV drips, many of which contain dextrose, a corn derivative." [emphasis added]

"Pharmacists are requested to use caution and be aware that many drugs and medications contain undisclosed potential allergens in the form of sugars, starches, and celluloses. Share the corn allergy example with prescribers . . ." [emphasis added]

The European Medicines Agency also confirms dextrose is only derived from cornstarch.

Healthline [NO MEDICAL LICENSE]:

Advises that DEXTROSE, utilized as a glucose (blood sugar)-elevating agent, 21CFR184.1857. must NOT be administered to hypoglycemic wheat-allergic patients.

"Dextrose is a simple sugar made from . . . wheat" [FALSE]
https://www.healthline.com/health/dextrose

Since wheat is a "Top 9" allergen, dextrose (cornstarch sugar/D-glucose)-containing IV fluids would REQUIRE a contraindication warning for wheat-allergic patients in the package insert -- ONLY contraindicated for corn-allergic patients.


Healthline [NO MEDICAL LICENSE] is guilty of bullying corn-allergic citizens.
