A Source of Mercury in Your Food!
A Source of Toxic Mercury that Hits Everyone.
A recent article in the scientific journal, Environmental Health, revealed new sources of mercury toxicity. HFCS or high fructose corn syrup was tested and nearly 50% of the samples contained mercury. Another study by the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy found mercury in one third of 55 popular brand name food and beverage products where HFCS is the first or second ingredient. (As reported by the Organic Consumers Association)
What is HFCS?
HFCS is a sweetener found in sweetened beverages, bread, cereals, yogurt, soups, breakfast or snack bars, and lunch meats. Americans average 12 teaspoons of HFCS per day. Teenagers and other high consumers may get 80% more than the average person.
“Mercury is toxic in all its forms” said David Wallinga, M.D. in the article. The concern for our children in their consumption of these foods and the ingestion of mercury from these sources has not been considered previously. Could this be contributing to the increase in developmental and learning problems in children?
This may cause you to ask, “What other sources of heavy metal toxins are there that we don’t know about?” It is very likely that we have not identified several other sources of toxic metals that we ingest though our food, water and air.
What Can You do?
I am grateful to have found the liquid activated zeolite called Natural Cellular Defense NCD) to safely and effectively reduce my toxic burden of heavy metals and chemical toxins. Heavy metals and chemicals are well known to be triggers for diseases such as cancer. I have lost my father, two brothers, and a sister to cancer. Our whole family takes NCD daily.
Heavy metals are a major cause of depression, irregular heart beats and contribute to chronic inflammation. This can also have a devastating effect on our second brain.
It is important to minimize all levels of heavy metals. Consider: if the maximum safe level for mercury is X and the maximum safe level of lead is Y and the maximum safe level of cadmium is Z- what happens when you have the maximum safe level of more than one toxic metal? Such as X+Y or X+Z or X+Y+Z?
The maximum safe level is determine by the amount of a toxic metal that will kill 1 out 50 rats. When the rats were given the maximum safe level of mercury and aluminum- all 50 rats died. Do you believe that we are adequately protected from exposure in our foods from multiple toxic metals?
No way do I believe our food safety standards are established with the consideration of the presence of multiple toxic metals. That is why I urgently recommend that everyone take action, aggressive action to reduce your toxic burden.
Read the labels on the processed foods you consume. This can help you reduce your ongoing exposure. I have avoided HFCS for several years and now I have an even greater reason.
