Total interactions with corn before breakfast? Eight items, some with multiple corn-based ingredients. Let’s take a closer look… Items below show their corn based ingredients, and then brand name for a concrete example: 1.Toothpaste: Sorbitol and Sodium Saccharin – Colgate Total 12 Hour Multi-Protection Toothpaste 2.Mouthwash: Sorbitol and Sodium Saccharin – Listerine 3.Shampoo: Citric Acid – Giovanni Tea Tree Triple Treat Shampoo 4.Conditioner: Citric Acid – Giovanni Smooth as Silk Conditioner 5.Body Wash: – Xanthan Gum, Citric Acid – Burt’s Bees Milk & Shea Butter Body Wash 6.Nasal Allergy Spray: Dextrose – Flonase 7.Daily Allergy Pill: Microcrystalline Cellulose, Magnesium Stearate - Zyrtec 8.Daily Multi-Vitamin: Cellulose, Magnesium Stearate, Starch, Tocopherol, and a whole bunch of FD&C coloring – One-A-Day Women’s Formula Vitamins Susie progresses on to have coffee with milk and Sweet N’Low, thinking it’s better for her than sugar. That’s a +1 for the corn side given she just consumed dextrose, care of that little pink packet. She’s in a hurry and decides to skip breakfast, taking yogurt with her as a snack for later instead. She grabs a yogurt, her favorite – Yoplait Whips – and packs up her things. The corn in that last minute grab includes the ever popular High Fructose Corn Syrup, along with Modified Corn Starch. This is another +1 for corn. Susie is now really running late for work, and quickly applies some light makeup consisting of face powder, blush, and a light lip tint. Each of the facial powders contain corn starch, and the lip tint? Well she went with Burt’s Bees, which means she’ll be licking corn off her lips in the form of corn based Tocopherol. The makeup session gave us a +3 for corn. Where are we now? Oh yes, we’re up to 13 interactions with corn and it’s first thing in the morning. Susie progresses on to have coffee with milk and Sweet N’Low, thinking it’s better for her than sugar. That’s a +1 for the corn side given she just consumed dextrose, care of that little pink packet. She also purchases a sandwich to eat back at her desk – a turkey and cheese sandwich. Since most lunch meats are injected with Dextrose, she would have consumed this unless she happened to be eating organic meat. Given she’s at an office cafeteria, those odds are low. allergykids/blog/a-typical-american-day-with-corn/
