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.

I am allergic to corn syrup. I break out in hives and my throat closes off when I eat it.

I was reading somewhere that they're finding traces of mercury in hfcs, which could explain some symptoms.

Sounds like an intolerance. I get the same but only with certain artificial sweeteners and only at certain amounts. It's not an allergy in which certain foods make me sneeze and give me eye pain. This is different.
