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,” said the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy’s Dr. David Wallinga, a co-author of both studies.

Everything is contaminated. They have been doing this for years.

I eat whatever I want and just bless it before it goes in my mouth.

I make and use colloidal silver. It gets right in there and clears the inpurities from my body. Lately I have noticed that certain things trigger my ashma and then I back off.

I don't know what I would do without this as its comes in so handy. I feel like a cheater for using it but hell, it works.

mntruthseeker, that sounds great.
Where would you recommend that I order some from?
