MONDAY, Jan. 26 (HealthDay News) -- Almost half of tested samples of commercial
high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) contained mercury, which was also found in nearly a
third of 55 popular brand-name food and beverage products where HFCS is the first- or
second-highest labeled ingredient, according to two new U.S. studies.
HFCS has replaced sugar as the sweetener in many beverages and foods such as
breads, cereals, breakfast bars, lunch meats, yogurts, soups and condiments. On
average, Americans consume about 12 teaspoons per day of HFCS, but teens and other
high consumers can take in 80 percent more HFCS than average.
"Mercury is toxic in all its forms. Given how much high-fructose corn syrup is consumed
by children, it could be a significant additional source of mercury never before
considered. We are calling for immediate changes by industry and the [U.S. Food and
Drug Administration] to help stop this avoidable mercury contamination of the food
supply," the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy's Dr. David Wallinga, a co-author of
both studies, said in a prepared statement.




YOU MUST READ INGREDIENTS!
Labels and advertisements can be deceiving. Even though foods are presented as "natural" they can still contain many of the artificial additives listed on this page. Carefully read ingredients before buying foods. Also, if you have trouble pronouncing it, most likely it is not food!
