Corn is in everything from gasoline to corn dogs. In fact, it is almost uncommon to find any product that doesn’t have some corn in it. Corn is used in plastics and packaging, it replaces Styrofoam packing peanuts in the form of a molded cornstarch, it is used to keep other products such as confectioner’s sugar and baking powder from caking, it is used as a filler, it is used to make cheap sweeteners and syrups and it can be used as an adhesive in tea bags. It is by far the most prevalent plant product used in food and manufacturing today.
