[Ditter]

I am allergic to corn. It gives me a dull headache at the base of my skull. We were on a trip last weekend and when we stopped for gas I went into the convenience store for a snack. After reading every label in the store I concluded there was nothing in there I could eat because *everything* contained corn in some form. I left the store really angry!

I understand. Allergies can affect many systems/organs -- skin, sinus, eyes, lungs, mucus, intestinal, circulatory, brain. And many allergies don't develop until after long exposure to high levels (as with latex). Imagine such exposure since birth.

You've found that food labels show beyond doubt corn's prevalence. Anyone can read them.

I've got nothing against corn as a part of our diet, especially in its whole form. And corn's not the only food culprit. But it's saturation has become, IMO, a serious health issue. One that's showing itself more now. And one that ADD/ADHD drug manufacturers don't mind at all. Ask your local elementary school's health staff for the percentage of students taking behavioral drugs. It's scary.
