"The bad news is that nobody knows whether or not their soda or snack food contains HFCS made from ingredients like caustic soda contaminated with mercury," Wallinga says. But he adds that mercury-free ingredients are out there and food manufacturers "just need a good push to only use those ingredients."
But remember: food manufacturers use HFCS as a money saving solution in the first place, so it's not like makers of HFCS are likely to make an expensive change to their processing systems. At the end of the day, profit will always trump safety.
Oh My... so is it listed on the back I obviosly dont look enough, cereal aswell.....
High fructose corn syrup is just about in everything!! Anything that is prepared or pre-cooked....beverages, etc.
And don't ya love the commercials they are pushing out there suddenly??? That it is no different than sugar and is made from sugar, and just like sugar it is fine in moderation.
What a bunch of junk!!!
They just started pushing these commercials recently....one commercial a mother is pouring cool-ade or fruit punch.....another one is a couple in a park eating a popsicle.....another one is two brothers eating breakfast cereal. ALL these products have high fructose corn syrup in them.
I heard about this a few days ago, does anyone have a list of foods we have corn syrup in,to avoid it from now on.!
