HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup) Updates

4/12/12: The High Fructose Corn Syrup - Cancer Connection.

12-28-11: More junk to go along with the HFCS - Mercury.  The corn growers association refutes this information, so indeed it could be a bad study skewed sideways - seems there are truth stretchers on both sides?
"The presence of mercury in processed HFCS was first revealed through the results of two little-known U.S. studies. Researchers from the two studies reported that about half of tested samples of HFCS contained mercury, a substance known to wreak havoc on the nervous system, neurological function, and overall biological function. Even more concerning is the fact that mercury was found in nearly one third of 55 popular brand-name food and beverage items, which listed HFCS as the first-or-second-highest labeled ingredient. Of course these are only a sampling of popular products containing HFCS as a main ingredient, and it is a significant challenge to find processed food brands that do not contain HFCS as a major ingredient."

1-22-2011: A little history on HFCS. We really didn't have the stuff around until 1980. Now, its in everything (check labels folks). The rea$on$ for it'$ great $ucce$$? Follow the money!

Infertility and HFCS - The great American die-off.

The great hoax: HFCS is one of the greatest boons to mankind, and is a natural product. Go see what the manufacturers say. (follow the money?)

Of course there are always the naysayers who want to ruin a $weet thing - so if you are fat, can't get it off, and can't figure out why, check your labels and read this from Princeton University.

Then there is this highly suspect related story. Nah - can't be! BNET
