maltodextrin is derived from corn which is a grain which is the cause of obesity and cancer in the united states0

I thought it was HFCS?0

Is it corn or wheat derived?

Summary of paper
The maltose/maltodextrin regulon of Escherichia coli consists of 10 genes which encode a binding protein-dependent ABC transporter and four enzymes acting on maltodextrins. All mal genes are controlled by MalT, a transcriptional activator that is exclusively activated by maltotriose. By the action of amylomaltase, we prepared uniformly labeled [14C]maltodextrins from maltose up to maltoheptaose with identical specific radioactivities with respect to their glucosyl residues, which made it possible to quantitatively follow the rate of transport for each maltodextrin. Isogenic malQ mutants lacking maltodextrin phosphorylase (MalP) or maltodextrin glucosidase (MalZ) or both were constructed. The resulting in vivo pattern of maltodextrin metabolism was determined by analyzing accumulated [14C]maltodextrins. MalP− MalZ+ strains degraded all dextrins to maltose, whereas MalP+ MalZ− strains degraded them to maltotriose. The labeled dextrins were used to measure the rate of transport in the absence of cytoplasmic metabolism. Irrespective of the length of the dextrin, the rates of transport at a submicromolar concentration were similar for the maltodextrins when the rate was calculated per glucosyl residue, suggesting a novel mode for substrate translocation. Strains lacking MalQ and maltose transacetylase were tested for their ability to accumulate maltose. At 1.8 nM external maltose, the ratio of internal to external maltose concentration under equilibrium conditions reached 106 to 1 but declined at higher external maltose concentrations. The maximal internal level of maltose at increasing external maltose concentrations was around 100 mM. A strain lacking malQ, malP, and malZ as well as glycogen synthesis and in which maltodextrins are not chemically altered could be induced by external maltose as well as by all other maltodextrins, demonstrating the role of transport per se for induction.0 -

Yeah, Splenda is MUCH better, but I was trying "natural".0 -

It tastes like "fake sugar" aftertaste to me. BLECH.0 -

Who cares? GMO pose no threat to humans (http://www.who.int/foodsafety/publications/biotech/20questions/en/). Unless you count potential crossing between different plants.0
