Just curious why I keep seeing "Maltodextrin" as
something to watch for when here are a few definitions
which may be helpful to those who have been avoiding
it. Perhaps if you have candida or a yeast problem you
may want to avoid, since sugar increases the growth of
the above (from what I've read).

Maltodextrin is a sugar which is often used as an
inactive ingredient in drug products.
