Corn-Allergic Consumers/Patients: The FDA declares that CORNSTARCH is VOID of allergenic corn proteins. [FALSE]

 

CRITICAL ALERT CORN-ALLERGIC CITIZENS

The FDA declares in 21CFR184.1857 that corn sugar produced from allergenic cornstarch (DEXTROSE) is “biochemically identical” to GLUCOSE (human blood sugar) at the molecular level, C6H12O6.

Therefore, the FDA declares that cornstarch is not only VOID of allergenic corn proteins, but is 100% safe for consumption by individuals with an IgE-mediated allergy to corn.

The FDA also declares that cornstarch sugar (added to IV fluids as a glucose (blood sugar)-elevating agent); i.e., DEXTROSE, is 100% safe for injection into corn-allergic patients, since cornstarch is “biochemically identical” to glucose (human blood sugar) at the molecular level, C6H12O6.

21CFR184.1857
"Corn sugar (C6H12O6 . . .), a/k/a dextrose/D-glucose, is produced by the complete hydrolysis of corn starch . . ."

SUMMARY:
The FDA advises corn-allergic citizens to ignore any websites claiming that cornstarch is a polysaccharide, a complex carbohydrate, molecular formula C27H48O20; since the FDA declares that cornstarch is “biochemically identical” to glucose (human blood sugar) at the molecular level, C6H12O6, a simple carbohydrate, a monosaccharide, as defined by the FDA in 21CFR184.1857.
