WMS = Cornflour = Cornmeal? - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

Hiya

Been reading alot of the Waxy Maize Starch threads, and most say its the same as Cornflour, so I thought I whould get some as dextrose is giving me headaches and gut problems, well I live in a very Indian/Asian community and they have Cornmeal is HUGE sacks 5kg for around £4, i got a smaller packet to try, and its 79g carbs per 100g 0.7g sugar. is this the same stuff as what is usually called Cornflour?

Sorry for my confusion

I'm not sure myself, i've never seen waxy maize starch for sale anywhere. But i'll tell you this, Maize is from the Americas not Asia - so I guess traditional Indian cornflour is something different.
Nutritionally they may be exactly the same mind you, so I have no idea why WMS is identified as useful in a BBers diet...??

WMS is usually used to replace glucose in PWO shakes, on further examination of the packet, it says 100% Maize Flour. pretty cheep, its yellow, very fine and a little gritty in the shake, Dint cause the epic head rush i get from dextrose

WMS is 99-100% amylopectin, cornflour is 75% amylopectin

There is zero reference figures for Dextrose vs WMS. 50% faster may mean 2 seconds.

Yeah I may switch back to Dextrose, as drinking Cornflour is like eating clay :( (i got some of the real stuff from tesco)
