What can eating corn starch do to your health?

Answer 1

In the moderate amounts used for cooking, it's not really bad for you. Like white flour, cornstarch is low in essential vitamins, but you're probably only using a tablespoon or so of it. Cornstarch stirred into water is sometimes used as a remedy for diarrhea, and too much can cause constipation.

Additonal Information:

If you are eating it in your food as a normal part of your meal prep, I don't see how it could harm you. But if you have an unexplained craving for it that you don't seem able to satisfy, you may have some issue you want to discuss with your Dr. Strong craving for this and other unusual substances, along with the strong urge to chew ice, have been linked with iron, zinc deficiencies, and anemia. If you are found to be anemic, make sure your Dr. explores the root causes, colon cancer has been linked with these symptoms. This is not to suggest that everyone who experiences these urges or craving has cancer, but I do suggest strongly that you speak with your Dr. openly and honestly, about your eating habits. Then you can receive the proper tests and treatment from a fully informed Dr.

Answer 3

The unexplained craving for cornstarch or other peculiar substances is often a signal of a iron and/or zinc deficiency and should be investigated by your Dr. Many times when you see your Dr. they discover you are anemic and this can be treated. But, please ask your Dr. to explore the root causes of your craving for cornstarch and anemia. A link has been found between these symptoms and colon cancer. This doesn't mean that everyone with these urges has cancer, but you do need to be open and honest with your Dr. to help determine the cause of your cravings and protect you health.

The side effects are many and varied. They range from weight gain, tooth decay, all the way up to needing emergency medical care. With all kinds of things in between such as headaches and migranes, stomach and intestinal problems. I strongly recommend that you see your Dr. and get some medical testing done, if you are dealing with a strong urge or craving for an unusual substance.
