Interesting. Why would they fund such sites?by pharma-funded natural health blogs
Probably to create more patients. For example, veganism became a huge trend pretty recently, and I think we've all heard the stories about someone who followed some fad 'natural' diet that was based on erroneous ideas, especially like a raw vegan one, who developed all these crazy health issues like hypothyroidism and are now trying to recover.Interesting.

*cha-ching!*
Zaq is senseless, like a rock.Makes sense.
Considering it was a 'weight gain' powder which sounds like something bodybuilders use, it was probably a concoction of other toxic shyte with terrible interactions which contributed to thatI tried a maltodextrin based weight gain powder many years ago. Stomach acid went up into my nostrils. It was horrible
Maltodextrin is processed starch and has the same "glycemic index" as white sugar.
It is fully absorbed very quickly.
It is often not used for nutritional value, but rather for its bulking properties. Like starch, it keeps pills and powders from sticking.
Even if the maltodextrin is derived from GMO-corn, none will be left over in the maltodextrin.
The amount of Maltodextrin used in commercial products is insignificant.
Also Maltodextrin is different than Dextrin. Don't fret over maltodextrin, especially if the product it's in is healthy otherwise. Once in a while, I will consume a minimally processed whey protein powder and maltodextrin is usually an ingredient in many whey powders. I have noticed no negative health effects from maltodextrin-containing foods.
MSG is unfairly villified.This is reminiscent of MSG, which is just the sodium salt of glutamic acid that got demonized by pharma-funded natural health blogs
I think that’s “zero calories per serving”. Maltodextrin is a long chain starch that easily breaks down to glucose. There are different grades that are used that vary on glycemic index. It’s used as a bulking agent for many foods.How can maltodextrin have a high glycemic index when it is bound to sucralose in a zero calorie product?
Thanks for responding!I think that’s “zero calories per serving”. Maltodextrin is a long chain starch that easily breaks down to glucose. There are different grades that are used that vary on glycemic index. It’s used as a bulking agent for many foods.
