Another Reason to Avoid High Fructose Corn Syrup

I have talked several times about staying away from high fructose corn syrup. HFCS has many detrimental effects on the body and you should stay away from it all costs. The rise in obesity in the US actually mirrors the use of HFCS in our food supply. Recently, I came across a study that showed another reason to stay away from HFCS. It seems that HFCS has high levels of mercury, and that consumption of HFCS can lead to toxic levels of mercury in the body. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this stuff.
