HOLY FRAKIN CRAP. Corn is everywhere. I hate America.

I can't eat this:
  • Corn syrup
  • Corn oil
  • Corn meal
  • Cornstarch
  • Vegetable oil
  • Maize
  • Popcorn
  • Grits
  • Hominy
  • Corn sugars (dextrose, Dyno, Cerelose, Puretose, Sweetose, glucose)
  • Margarine
  • Corn chips (Tortilla chips, Fritos)
  • Corn fritters
  • Breakfast cereals (such as corn flakes)
  • Corn tortillas
Or this:

Certain paper containers (boxes, cups, plates, milk cartons) may contain corn, and the inner surface of plastic food wrappers may be coated with cornstarch.

Good to know. I'm quite fond of boxes with my morning meal.

Because if I do, I will experience this:
  • Depression
  • Disturbed sleep
  • Eczema
  • Fatigue
  • *Fuzzy thinking*
  • Joint pains
  • Hyperactivity (especially in children)
  • Inability to concentrate
  • Lethargy
  • Mood swings and/or behavioral changes (especially in children)
  • Night sweats
  • "Raccoon" eyes
  • Recurring ear infections
  • Respiratory conditions
  • Sinus conditions
  • Urinary track infections (UTI)

Well that's unfortunate. Except, HFCS is bad for you anyway, and should be avoided as a matter of course.

But still...popcorn?!

Oh, and can you put ethanol in your car? Not that you should really do that either, but I'm still curious...
