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 . . .”

"Dextrose-containing

for IV fluids is prepared by . . . hydrolysis of cornstarch."

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.

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.
