This is from the Great Dane Lady's website on Corn: 
There is much myth and misinformation on the Internet regarding this topic of 
 allergies and itâ??s relationship to food stuffs. The internet is a tool to  
quickly disseminate information to a large portion of the general population.  
And with this capability, there is truthful information circulated, as well as 
 the "intentional" distribution of misinformation or propaganda used in new  
marketing techniques.  
Sometimes these tactics are done to try and dissuade the public from the use  
of a competitors product or to gain momentum for a particular cause. In 
short,  the internet is the new venue for propaganda and it is often difficult 
for 
the  average user to sort out the truth from the myth. One example of 
propaganda is  the myth that corn causes allergies in dogs. 
First, corn is one of the best natural sources of coat and skin conditioners  
like Omega 6. It has an overall digestibility is 90% and carbohydrate  
digestibility is 99%. In the instance of _Eagle Dog Foods_ 
(http://www.eaglepack.com/)  use of whole corn, Eagle  grinds whole corn fresh 
for their products and 
they do not use any genetically  engineered corn. It is bought from local 
farmers and no pesticides are applied  from the day the seed is planted until 
the 
corn is picked. High quality whole  corn is an excellent carbohydrate that is 
"used" as a carbohydrate source, not  counted as protein source and it is not 
listed first on the ingredient panel.  The fact is, legitimate research shows 
whole corn, to be considered very low on  the list of foods that cause allergic 
reactions.  
Before jumping on the bandwagon against corn used as a carbohydrate in a  
diet, you need to understand there is one cause for allergic reactions and that 
 
is a problem with an immune system. But there are many triggers for an 
"allergic  type" reaction, some include: Genetic predisposition for Inhalant 
Atopic  
Dermatitis, Contact Dermatitis, Vaccines reactions (Purdue Study- Vaccine  
Mediated Responses), Candida Albicans (see _Systemic  Yeast Infections_ 
(http://www.greatdanelady.com/articles/systemic_yeast_infections_candida_albicans.htm)
 
), Flea bite or Insect bite Determatitis, Thyroid and/or  Hormones and in rare 
cases, food  allergies.
