How have I not posted this yet?

Corn is in EVERYTHING at least it feels that way sometimes.

For those of you just joining us, here are the 4 top things to look for that aren't obvious, when looking at ingredient lists. (corn syrup, corn starch)

White Vinegar (corn derived) Cheese is a big thing too! Most are made with vinegar that is corn derived OR they use corn starch for packaging.
Natural Flavors (don't be surprised if you call a company and the refuse to tell you if their natural flavors. I had one company refuse because they are "trade secrets")
Vitamin C (yea baby cereal has this! Plain rice cereal that has rice cereal and vitamin C added has corn derived vitamin C! WTF?)
Citric Acid (can you tell corn can be used for a lot of stuff?)

Yea these are the hard ones. Also check for Maltodextrin (I'll check the spelling tomorrow LMAO) some will list that it's corn derived and others won't but most often it is)

Anyways that's my lesson for the night! Feel free to ask if there are any questions.
