Mercury in Corn Syrup


2 separate U.S. studies show:
Nearly half of the samples of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) tested in 2 separate U.S. studies contained mercury.
Nearly 1/3 of the 55 popular brand name foods and beverages where HFCS is the 1st or 2nd highest labeled ingredient contained the metallic element.
On average, Americans consume 12 teaspoons per day.
Most teens take in 80% more than this figure.
A Coca-Cola from America differs from a Coke overseas,
because of the high cost of sugar in the states, we substitute our sugar in most products with HFCS.
