Cornstarch

[Guest guest]

Cornstarch was mentioned earlier. I never previously checked Bowes &

Church's for its nutrient content. Interesting. Of the ten vitamins

and minerals that B & C covers for cornstarch all record a content

of " 0.0 " !!! It also contains zero fat and zero protein. Eight grams

of it contains 0.8 grams of water and 7.2 grams of carbohydrate.

Almost the perfect empty calorie source! I have used a little of it

for many years because of a white sauce recipe I got from one of

Pritikin's volumes. Perhaps he liked it because it contains even

less fat than wheat flour?

> Are we able to have cornstarch?

==>Hi . No. Corn shouldn't be consumed by anyone. Not only

is most of it genetically modified but it is high in sugars. It is the

source of so much of the sugars on the market today and of course

starchy foods are not allowed. If you need a thickener see " Thickening

Agents " : http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/recipes/recipe166.php
