FLASHBACK: Nearly 50% of High-Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) in Grocery Products Contains Mercury

Just in case you need one (1) reason to avoid high-fructose corn syrup, here is a reason: Almost half of the grocery products with HFCS contains toxic mercury. Mercury is a deadly neurotoxin that is not safe in any amount.

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.
