As corn is in everything, this was very difficult to really understand. I'm very very sensitive to it. For example, when I tried some sucralose, I had a nice corn "panic attack". Confused, I researched the ingrediants. The "maltodextrin" I discovered, could have been, and probably was, made from corn. For me, depression and specifically panic attacks were predictable, repeatable processes directly related to allergies. Each allergic reaction had a specific feel, to the point where I would feel a panic attack, or rapid mood swing, and by its nature and feel, could say, "must have accidently eaten corn" or wheat, or garlic, or whatever. Carefully researching all the ingrediants of the food, I discovered that I was right in every case. Now I have them all identified and no longer suffer from either panic attacks or depression, short of occasional mistakes. Erik Hill
