Hi, I just sent in a response to someone from South Africa about side effects from food, but I was wondering if you have a page on corn syrup side effects? I think this stuff is really nasty and wreaks havoc on the pancreas. When I drink soda or ice tea with corn syrup, something I try to avoid, I get light headed and dizzy. It just happened on Friday when I drank sweetened ice tea at a restaurant. I forgot to ask until after I drank it if it contained corn syrup. It did. The symptoms struck me like lightening an hour later - first- a jump in my heart rhythm, then dizziness followed by a foggy brain. It lasted about 36 hours. I do NOT have this reaction to sugar.
I hope people will be very careful with these corn syrup drinks. They may lead us all to diabetes much faster than sugar. Thank you.
