WMS vs Cornflour..

I was wondering what peoples views are on this. I have just started using WMS and i also bought some cornflour from Morrisons, they both look exactly the same, mix exactly the same, and taste exactly the same! WMS is about £6-7 per kilo where as Cornflour is less than £2 per kilo. Are the supplement companies buying cornflour and selling it as WMS? Are they both the same thing?

From Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_flour
Cornstarch, the white, powdered starch of the maize grain; in UK usage, cornflour normally has this particular meaning.

This tells me its from the same grain. Can anyone confirm or correct this?

Contents of WMS per 100g:

Carbohydrates 85g
Of which starch 85g
Of which sugar 0g
Protein 0.4g
Fat 0.1g
Fibre Trace
Energy 350kal

Contents of Cornflour per 100g:

Carbohydrates 83.6g
Of which sugars Trace
Protein 0.6g
Fat 0.7g
Fibre 0.1g
Energy 343kal

Very simular the only thing that isn't mentioned on the Cornflour packet is 'Of which starch', but that doesn't mean to say it is or it isn't. The term cornflour is starch of the maize grain so i would suggest that it is. I am not saying that we are being ripped off just making an observation that they seem to be the same thing. I know there was some talk on another thread about people switching to cornflour, has anyone got any results on this?
