It’s not food grade for cattle and other livestock that we raise for our food?

Corn makes a great ingredient in cattle feed; distillers spent grains make an even better ingredient.

Distillation removes only the starch from corn, but none of the other nutrients. While folks require starch for their bodies to produce sugar, cattle stomachs will synthesize glucose from cellulose.
