Mercury Found in High Fructose Corn Syrup

We have known the ill effects of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) for a long time now. It's ill effects in causing obesity and diabetes are known throughout the literature. HFCS makes everything it is in very sweet and palatable. However, at what cause to our economy and health. Diabetes and obesity are on the rise in the US. I have asked my patients that before trying a diet, they should stop ingesting HFCS. Not suprisingly, most of the patients lost up to 15% of their body weight just by stopping the ingestion of HFCS. With newer research showing more and more information regarding HFCS causing many more ill effects, it should not be a suprise that it can also cause cancer. The problem is that the companies that use the HFCS to make their products will undoubtably deny and refute all reports showing any ill effects. What did we expect from them? In a time where knowledge is only a click away, I urge all of you to track this and all artifical sweeteners for their ill effects. Lastly, HFCS is not digestable by our bodies. It is a toxin that the liver can not detoxify. In essence, our body does not know how to metabolize HFCS. Too much of it can ultimately exceed our liver's ability to detoxify it and cause both the weight to increase and the pancreas to decrease insulin production thus causing hyperglycemia and ultimately, diabetes.
