Waxy Maize

So it has been a while since I have looked at anything in a supplement store other than what I go in to buy regularly (grab my protein, creatine, dextrose get out). But, it was cold today and I decided to browse a bit to warm up. The carbs section seems to be loaded with "Waxy Maize" all of a sudden form just about every company, is this something new? The claims on some of the packages seemed outrageous and others sounded like just a decent carb supplement.

I figured if anybody would be able to tell me anything about the stuff it would be you guys. Is this another fad product that got a write up somewhere and everybody jumped on the wagon or is it actually something worth considering?
 
I'm not an expert, but from what i gather it spikes your insulin just like dextros and maltodextrin, but it causes less of the bloated feeling, it also passes through your stomach faster. Its good for PWO drinks

I have found that is does not bloat at all and feels as if it is helps with fatique after a hard workout when 'i get a bit shaky. It isn't delicious though. :0 Not sweet and sort of chalky- or atleast Glyco Maize is. I am very carb sensitive and get bloated from any starch or simple carb and it is the same.
