Benefits of Corn Syrup

Low-calorie alternative: When used in moderation, corn syrup can be a lower-calorie alternative to some other sweeteners.

Quick energy source: As a simple carbohydrate, it can provide a quick source of energy.

Moisture retention: In food production, it helps retain moisture, which can contribute to texture and shelf life.

Smoothness in frozen desserts: It can prevent ice crystals from forming in frozen desserts, creating a smoother texture.

Glucose source: It provides glucose, which is the body’s primary energy source.It’s important to note that these are not significant health benefits, and corn syrup (especially high fructose corn syrup) is generally considered unhealthy when consumed in large quantities. Most health professionals recommend limiting intake of added sugars, including corn syrup.

Who should avoid Corn Syrup

People with diabetes or prediabetes, as it can cause rapid spikes in blood sugar levels

Individuals trying to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight

Those with high triglycerides, as corn syrup can contribute to elevated levels

People with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)

Individuals with a history of heart disease or at high risk for cardiovascular problems

Those with fructose intolerance or malabsorption

People trying to reduce their overall sugar intake for health reasons

Individuals with insulin resistance

Those following a low-carb or ketogenic diet

People with metabolic syndrome

Individuals with a history of dental problems, as corn syrup can contribute to tooth decay

Those with inflammatory conditions, as high fructose intake may exacerbate inflammation

People trying to adhere to a whole foods-based diet

Individuals with certain genetic conditions that affect fructose metabolismIt’s important to note that while these groups should be particularly cautious, moderate consumption of corn syrup as part of a balanced diet may not pose significant risks for most healthy individuals.

What is Tolerase® G?

A new Approach for People with Gluten Sensitivity:
Explore the Science and Benefits of Tolerase® G.

 

Relief from Gluten Sensitivity

In the fight against gluten, there is a unique supplement that stands out: Little Helpers anti-gluten pills with 100% Tolerase® G.

This specific enzyme, Tolerase® G, a patented endopeptidase specific for proline, was developed by  Royal DSM  and has been scientifically proven to be effective in breaking down gluten residues​ ( 1) ​. Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP), an enzyme closely related to Tolerase® G, can break down gluten so effectively that it barely reaches the duodenum, potentially eliminating gluten toxicity​ ( 2) ( ​​3 ) ​.

On this page we explain why we are so enthusiastic about this supplement, supported by scientific research.

What is Gluten?

Gluten is a group of proteins found primarily in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. These complex proteins give shape, strength, and texture to bread and other grain products. However, gluten is difficult to digest because it is rich in proline, a non-essential amino acid. This is why about 13% of the world’s population is sensitive to gluten in their diet​ (1)​.

How Tolerase® G Works

It is important to note that Tolerase G is designed to have optimal activity in the difficult conditions of the stomach. Its effectiveness on the digestion of gluten in the stomach and duodenum has been scientifically proven ( 1 ).

Studies have shown that a newly identified prolyl endoprotease derived from Aspergillus niger can effectively break down gluten proteins. This enzyme works optimally at a pH of 4–5, remains stable at pH 2, and is completely resistant to digestion by pepsin ( 2 ). Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP) accelerates the breakdown of gluten in the stomach so much that very little gluten reaches the duodenum ( 3 ). This suggests that co-administration of AN-PEP with a meal containing gluten could potentially eliminate gluten toxicity, allowing people to (occasionally) abandon their strict gluten-free diet ( 3 ).

Frequently
Asked Questions

Can celiacs have high fructose corn syrup?
Celiac disease primarily affects the digestion of gluten, not fructose. High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is gluten-free and generally considered safe for people with celiac disease. However, some individuals with celiac disease may also have fructose malabsorption or other sensitivities. It's always best for celiacs to consult with their healthcare provider about specific dietary concerns.
Is Karo light corn syrup gluten-free?
Karo light corn syrup is generally considered gluten-free. It is made from corn starch, which does not contain gluten. The company states on their website that their corn syrup products are gluten-free. However, individuals with severe gluten sensitivities should always check the label or contact the manufacturer directly to confirm, as processing methods can occasionally change.
Why is corn not gluten-free?
Corn is actually naturally gluten-free. The confusion arises because corn contains a protein called "corn gluten" which is different from the gluten found in wheat, barley, and rye. Corn gluten does not cause the same reactions in people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Therefore, corn and corn-based products are generally considered safe for those following a gluten-free diet.
What is surprisingly not gluten-free?
Many people are surprised to learn that soy sauce often contains gluten. Additionally, some flavored potato chips and other snack foods may have gluten-containing ingredients. Certain medications and supplements can also contain gluten as a binding agent. Even some cosmetics and personal care products, like lip balms or lotions, may contain gluten-derived ingredients.
