A US TV series exploring strange eating habits investigates a woman addicted to eating corn starch.
Nikki Myles first started to eat the baking ingredient 16 years ago during pregnancy, soon getting through as many as three boxes of it each day and eating it out of the packet with a spoon. "Corn starch is typically used for thickening, baking, but for me, when I buy it, it's strictly for eating it. My mouth always waters for it. it's the best," she says.
Most people struggle to use a box of corn starch in a month, but one woman's bizarre addiction sees her eat up to 2lb of the thickening agent every day. Nikki Myles who is profiled in the latest series of TLC's Freaky Eaters, loves corn starch so much, she eats it from the box with a spoon.
