Chemical contaminants used during manufacturing end up in the HFCS and in our food. What we know, for example, is that chloralkali is used in making high fructose corn syrup. Chloralkai contains mercury. And there are trace amounts of mercury found in high fructose corn syrup-containing beverages. Now, it may not be a problem if we eat this occasionally, but the average person in the country consumes more than 20 teaspoons a day of high fructose corn syrup and the average teenager has 34 teaspoons a day.
Of the eighty million acres of corn in the United States only about 380,000 acres of it is sweet corn.

Field corn is used to make High Fructose corn syrup, which is found in many different, often unhealthy, foods such as soda and icecream.
| High Fructose Corn Syrup: Too Sweet to Eat? | High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is definitely bad for you. It is also bad for the planet, and I believe that it is a major driver of the obesity epidemic, despite the position taken in June 2008 by the American Medical Association. The AMA concluded that HFCS isn't any worse than other caloric sweeteners and that there is "insufficient evidence" to restrict its use or require a warning label on products that contain it.HFCS is a relatively recent invention for sweetening soft drinks, juices and foods - the production process was developed in Japan in the late 1960s, and the new sweetener entered the American food system in the early 1970s. It tastes sweeter than regular corn syrup, blends well
The Effects of Consumption on High Fructose Corn Syrup. High fructose corn syrup is a sweetener made by processing corn syrup to increase the level of fructose, usually to between 42% and 55% of the total sugar, with the balance being glucose. It is used extensively as a sweetener in processed foods and soft drinks, particularly soda and baked goods, but it is included also in many foods not normally thought of as sweet foods (“High”). High fructose corn syrup must be banned from all human consumption because of the negative health issues. High fructose corn syrup is associated with liver scarring.

Industrial Corn May Be Linked to America’s Obesity Epidemic Industrial Corn May Be Linked to America’s Obesity Epidemic Imagine for a moment and picture Americans as huge walking genetically modified stalks of corn. Every corn stalk contains various ears of corn hanging as limbs. Each ear of corn is filled with abundant kernels. Each kernel filled with starch. Well, welcome to the new bodies of Americans, because it has been said “you are what you eat.” With the mass yield production of industrial corn, which has been genetically modified, corn can be found in virtually every food item in the local American grocery store.
Protein is in the acceptable macronutrient distribution, but the carbohydrate acceptable macronutrient is under. The total fat is way over acceptable macronutrient. I would give up most of my soda and try to cut back to one a day and try out some healthier snack food.

High-Fructose Corn Syrup was invented by Richard O. Marshall and Earl Cool in the late 1950’s, however they failed in making it viable for mass production so it was taking into the hands of Dr. Yoshiyuki Takasaki at the Agency of Industrial Science and
The beef industry won’t ever do that because it would slow the cattle’s growth and it will hurt the company’s profit. E. coli has also spread to other foods from the run off that is made by the production of corn-fed beef. In the past ten years leafy foods like spinach have been recalled because the beef industry couldn’t keep its E. coli to
