High Fructose Corn Syrup and the commercial you see on TV

The commercial tells you that there is nothing wrong with High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS). It tells you that it is made from natural corn and that it is healthy for you. IT IS NOT!

What they don’t tell you is that most corn in the United States is processed and genetically modified (GMO) and void of any nutritional value. On top of that, if the corn was actually able to be grown on organic soil, the soil itself is either not actually organic until 7 years after they have converted it from non-organic, and/or the soil is void of nutrients due to lack of enrichment to begin with.

High Fructose Corn Syrup is high in processed sugar and also has mercury in it to help stabilize the chemical compound. If you know anything about mercury, it is the most toxic, non-radiated element on the planet and can cause many health problems from MS to other neurological degenerative diseases. Mercury can also be found in vaccinations and specific fish (tuna having the highest amounts of mercury).

We, as Americans, ingest on average, 150 pounds of processed sugar a year. This type of consumption can lead to an increase in diabetes and other neurological conditions not to mention weight gain and obesity in our younger generations.

So, the next time you go to the grocery store to shop for food, you may want to check the back label and see if it has High Fructose Corn Syrup in it. If it does, you may want to put it back on the shelf and find a healthier alternative.
