Did you know that there is actually trace amounts of mercury in some high fructose corn syrup!
According to webmd.com, researchers bought 55 products with high fructose corn syrup as the first or second ingredient in the product. The test results showed that there was a detectable amount of mercury in about 31% or 17 of the 55 products tested.
High levels of mercury can harm the kidneys, lungs, brain, immune system and even the heart. The tests however do not supply proof that the mercury came from the high fructose corn syrup.
According to naturalnews.com, high fructose corn syrup can be linked to obesity and type-2 diabetes. The chemical glutaraldehyde is a toxic chemical used to turn corn into high fructose corn syrup. Glutaraldehyde is also used for embalming!
Also according to naturalnews.com glutaraldehyde can actually burn a hole in your stomach! High fructose corn syrup can be found in things that you would not even think of like salad dressings or pizza sauces.
The best way to keep yourself safe from this danger is to read your food labels.
