corn Streaks begone! This corn-based alcohol allows our products to dry quickly for a streak-free shine.

would you be concerned about that at all if your corn intolerant?

There you go! You found one with corn! Makes you wonder what is in our cleaners & if corn is a normal ingredient?

If its an alcohol, supposedly its probably distilled. But...if it were me & I had problems with corn, I would try to find something else. Maybe white vinegar?

Corn makes me so sick that I wouldn't intentionally buy anything that listed a corn ingredient. I'm sure it could possibly be in my current cleaners, but I haven't gotten that far in my corn research. But then, I'm sensitive enough that I got sick handling powdered sugar (contains cornstarch).

The smell of Greenworks gets to me, as I've gotten more sensitive to scents, and it makes my fingers and hands itch. White vinegar is corny, so best to avoid it. Here's a great list of all the corn allergens if you haven't seen this link/list already.

Depending on your level of sensitivity, beware of paper products like paper plates, cupcake liners, styrofoam cups, plastic cutlery, toilet paper and paper towels (cornstarch), and all feminine products (cornstarch and/or polysorbate). Also, be very cautious of all medications (google for inactive ingredients), "___ flavor" ingredient, extracts with alcohol (potato vodka is safe) and perfumes....all corny.

I've been "allergic" to corn since May of this year. Skin prick test was negative, but my esophagus swells when I eat corn, corn syrup, cornstarch. And stuff like citric acid, vinegar, xanthan gum gives me hives, headaches, GI upset, etc.

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
