[...] Lick a gummed envelope flap to seal it, and you’ve just tasted corn. Lather up with shampoo, and you’ve got corn seeping in to your pores. Brush your teeth, and you’ve got corn in your mouth. Walk past the perfume counter in any department store, and you’ve just inhaled corn into your lungs. The madness doesn’t end here. Corn is everywhere. [...]

Just for the record, “Nature’s Own” breads don’t have corn in them. I just started my own anti-corn campaign, to try to not eat corn where it shouldn’t be (so fresh corn is ok, corn tortillas are ok, corn bread is ok, soda with HFCS is not). And at the grocery store, I saw that the bread I had been buying already (because it was 100% whole wheat) was also lacking HFCS!

I, too, try to avoid HFCS, and look for products such as breads and sodas without it. Based on having a soy allergy, however, I find a hell of a lot of breads without HFCS, but not without soy. Soy is far more prevalent in products than corn, I believe. If not soybeans or soy itself, there is soybean oil and soy lecithin. And while soy is one of the 8 top allergens, not many manufacturers recognize the other forms of soy and do not list it easily as an “allergen” on the packaging. So in almost every place in your article that you mention “corn” you could substitute “soy.” Except for knowing about whether the footprint of soy is similar to corn or not. Worth looking into…
