Why People Avoid Blended Sugar
People may avoid blended sugar products on a corn-free diet because the additional sweeteners or bulking agents, such as dextrose or maltodextrin, are often derived from corn. This can be problematic for individuals with corn allergies or sensitivities. Additionally, some consumers prefer to avoid artificial sweeteners for health or personal reasons.
