It Looks Like High Fructose Corn Syrup Manufacturers Are Getting A Little Nervous

By September 8, 2008

The Corn Refiners Association is sick and tired of people expressing uncertainty about the dubious heath benefits of high fructose corn syrup, so they’re running some commercials featuring aggressively annoying people getting schooled on the “facts” about our most omnipresent sweetener. All we managed to glean from the commercials is that not consuming high fructose corn syrup makes you rude. In the first one, one mom walks up to another (who is pouring some sort of pink liquid from a jug) and says, “Wow, you don’t care what the kids eat, huh?” What a jerk.

    This stuff is definetly bad for you or things would not be what they are. Things like

    Try to locate hfcs manufactures, it is not easy. Try to find a phone number to a company
    that manf. not easy.

    This came out in the beginning of the year hfcs manufactures are putting mercury into hfcs on purpose.

    http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/dailyloaf/2009/01/26/many-products-with-high-fructose-corn-syrup-hfcs-found-to-contain-mercury/

    “Some manufacturers of HFCS use mercury-grade caustic soda in the production process, which comes from outdated chlorine plants. Many have upgraded their technology, some have not. Mercury in this caustic soda finds its way into the final HFCS product, which then makes its way into your food.”

    After reading this over a wkend in Feb I called pepsico the following mon to find out if mercury is in my favorite beverage. They refused to answer over the phone and said that they would get back in touch with me. I ask if they would send me a signed affidaivd certifying that there is no mercury in pepsi. They tried to read me their quality policy. Nor would they tell me whom their hfcs suppliers are. That was the 1st mon of Feb 09. I still have not received 1 word from pepsico. What do you think they are afraid of?

    Autism in early 2000 was up 100′s% from the 70′s, and now look at what is going on.

    Autism is up 57% in 4 years – mercury causes autism in babies and younger children.

    There are many children whom will not be all they could have because of hfcs. The makers and sellers should be arrested all of them.
