A friend mentioned that his wife was allergic to Corn syrup. I'd never really heard about it, so Wikipedia came to my aid : It's a food syrup, which is made from the starch of maize and contains varying amounts of maltose and higher oligosaccharides, depending on the grade. Corn syrup is used in foods to soften texture, add volume, prevent crystallization of sugar, and enhance flavor
I can see that you coud easily be allergic to it... when you read how it's commercially produced :~(((
No wonder tha t alot of American food tastes so sweet and ghastly to us Europeans!
It seems to cause all sorts of nasty things like obesity, anaphylactic shock , brain allergies, diarrhea, bloating and nausea.
This made me wonder is Europe is also using the stuff itout our knowledge... Wikipedia says:
Wide-scale replacement of sugar with HFCS has not occurred in the EU.
