Field corn costs approximately $198 per cubic ton, making it an extraordinarily cheap and profitable food ingredient base. Modified food starch, maltodextrin, and corn-derived sweeteners are ubiquitous hidden starch ingredients in processed foods. Dent corn (field corn) is inedible raw but is industrially processed into over 50 different starch products that function as hidden sugars in the food supply. Americans consume approximately 35.5 lbs of corn starch and 60 lbs of corn sweeteners per person per year.
