HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup)
HFCS is produced from corns, which is likely to be a GMO strain. It then undergoes a process that converts it into cornstarch. The cornstarch is then converted into corn syrup in a process that requires fungus and enzymes. Another bacterial enzyme is then used in the process to synthesize fructose [5]. This process is not natural and cannot yield a natural product.
Studies show that HFCS contains mercury. This mercury is usually incorporated during the manufacturing process. People who consume HFCS regularly are more likely to develop various health conditions such as weight gain and type 2 diabetes. In summary, HFCS first occurs as a GMO that contains mercury and can cause various health conditions.
