The 'natural' sweetener HFCS appears to have a metal edge, and mercury.

This month makes a shocking revelation about glucose-fructose corn syrup-based syrup, also known as HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup), a ubiquitous sweetener used in many foods of cola to healthy snacks. This sweetener appears to contain mercury that unintentionally during the production process is added.

Glucose-fructose syrup is so widely used, and the stuff is so polluted with mercury, that most people, even when so-called 'natural' for processed food items and snacks to eat on average about 28.5 mcg of mercury per day can get. The average American receives annually no less than 19 kg inside.

Furthermore, new studies indicate that the use of glucose-fructose syrup is one of the causes behind the increase in obesity in western countries like America, England and the Netherlands.
The corn industry, this negative reporting against, and that's no wonder when we know that the corn industry in the seventies more or less of the collapse was rescued by an enzyme was discovered that the glucose in corn syrup into fructose could. Their argument is that HFCS 'natural', because it comes from a completely natural substance with no artificial additives or ingredients. That raises the question of what exactly "natural" means.

"The sweetener appears to contain mercury and is perhaps an even greater source of this toxic heavy metals than fish."
"There is not much imagination is required to suspect that some of the supposedly missing mercury in the HFCS itself has come."
"Of the 55 products they bought from the local supermarket, was one third contain mercury."
'In America are still using four of the eight processing technology based on mercury. "

High doses of any form of mercury also cause damage to the heart, kidneys, lungs and immune system. "

The sick-making sweet
The application of glucose-fructose syrup, also called high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) has been or corn syrup with high fructose content has a high flight in the food industry. But recent research suggests that as source of mercury may still risky than fish.

In the food processing industry since the eighties, a quiet revolution under way, one that sometimes can be harmful for health and that could lead to overweight. Recent research shows that even he could also be responsible for learning and behavioral problems that we now see so much more often in children.

The last thirty years, foodfactory's gradually sucrose as sweetener in food and drinks be replaced by glucose-fructose syrup, or HFCS, as in the United States is (High-Fructose Corn Syrup). In 1970, more than 83 percent of the sweetener in the U.S. was still sucrose. But according to OU (Orthodox Union) Kosher, an American non-profit organization that whether food is kosher, contained in 1997 only 43 percent of the food and beverages and a sucrose for 57 per cent glucose-fructose syrup is used.

Fructose syrup is usually made from corn and is cheaper than sugar from beets to be made. The food is love because the substance producers many advantages over traditional sweeteners. Products remain there longer tenable, it is easily mixed with liquids and retains the sweet taste better than ordinary sugar. For this reason the substance was very early used in Coca Cola, Pepsi and other soft drinks. Also, he freezer burning or frost from forming because it prevents crystal formation. Therefore, the substance commonly used in frozen products like ice cream. Furthermore, the sweetener in baking a nice brown color to cakes, pastries, breads, crackers and breakfast products. Most important is that the production is much cheaper than other sweeteners.
Obesity and diabetes
Today is glucose-fructose syrup in almost all processed foods, Coca Cola, Pepsi, Gingerbread, the cornflakes and other breakfast products Kellog's to ice cream by Ben & Jerry's, vegetable Campbell, processed breads and pastries, Ocean Spray Cranberry juice and lots of other products. The best part is, the supporters, that the substance is natural and safe. That view is shared by most scientists and food authorities.

Yet there are critics who believe that products with glucose-fructose syrup, a direct cause of obesity and diabetes. While the debate continues on whether glucose-fructose syrup is a cause of the growing number of people with obesity and diabetes, in a recent study a much more serious health problem to light: the sweetener appears to contain mercury and is perhaps an even greater source of this toxic heavy metals than fish.
