Guest guest Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 No, they are not the same. Cornstarch is exactly that, just the starch from the corn. Corn flour is finley ground corn. Cornstarch should be available in the baking aisle, Kingsford is the brand we see most often in the US. It's in a yellow box. Are you going to be compounding your own med? ----- Original Message ----- From: OBrien LDN Sent: Monday, February 16, 2004 7:43 PM Subject: [low dose naltrexone] cornstarch as filler Does anyone know if cornstarch and cornflour are the same thing.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 As far cornflour/cornstarch goes, here is Australia, pharmacists use what we call cornflour as filler, so I guess that is what you would use . (And we consider our cornflour to be the same as cornstarch according to my recipe books!) Hope this helps! in Australia. ----- Original Message ----- From: low dose naltrexone Sent: Tuesday, February 17, 2004 3:35 PM Subject: Re: [low dose naltrexone] cornstarch as filler No, they are not the same.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 From the word descriptions, I would not think they were the same. I would think that cornflour would be ground up whole corn and would be what we call cornmeal here in the USA. The word flour alone is normally assumed to be ground up wheat.
