No.
No....try baking soda
Yes, I have been eating cornstarch for sometime now. I am worried about what it is doing to my body. I started eating cornstarch by the box with my third and forth child. My husband caught me liking the baby powder and introduced me to the cornstarch instead. He told me that it was healthier to consume and that it was actually food. Recently I went to the doctor and I was told that my iron was low so I am now taking iron pills for supplement and I haven't eaten cornstarch in about 5 to 6 months. However, I am still concerned about the negative effects, if any, from eating so much of the cornstarch and what can I do to get it out of my system.
No. Clogged arteries are caused by too much 'bad' cholesterol and triglycerides in your blood...nothing to do with cornstarch.
It is not harmful but it can contribute to weight gain.
No, cornstarch is not harmful if swallowed. It is used in many recipes and pre-made food. However, eating it in large quantities can be harmful, like almost any other food. (e.g. eating a whole bag of sugar won't go over so well) Resource:
marsh mellows are made of cornstarch and sugar puffed with air. DO NOT pay attention to the other answer on mash mellow. It's probably to scare you from eating it.
You should not eat raw cornstarch, as it is linked to anemia and iron deficiency and may cause digestive issues such as gas and bloating. Raw cornstarch may also harbor harmful bacteria which can cause food-borne illnesses; cook it to ensure it is safe to consume
Eating cornstarch in moderation is generally safe for most people, but consuming it in large amounts can lead to digestive issues, such as bloating or constipation. While it's unlikely to be fatal, excessive consumption could pose health risks, especially for individuals with underlying conditions. Additionally, cornstarch is not a complete food source and lacks essential nutrients, so relying on it for sustenance could lead to nutritional deficiencies. If you have concerns about your diet or cornstarch consumption, it's best to consult a healthcare professional.
