High Fructose Corn Syrup Contains Toxic Mercury

Fructose
Fructose

Fructose is a monosaccharide or simple sugar found in many fruits, and in some vegetables as well.

Fructose is also produced commercially, usually from corn.  Here is often goes by the name of high-fructose corn syrup or HFCS.  This is actually a mixture of fructose and glucose.  Its production involves the use of mercury, in many cases, and it is reported that eating HFCS will contaminate you with some mercury, although I have not checked this claim for myself.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH EATING FRUCTOSE?


Research indicates that fructose consumption is involved with yeast overgrowth in the intestines, gout, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and obesity.  It is also a cause of glycation, which is related to aging.

  • Upsetting Copper Metabolism
Dr. Paul Eck, the founder of nutritional balancing science, researched fructose and said it upset copper metabolism.  Possible reasons for this may be its effect on the adrenal glands, or its yin quality, or perhaps some other aspect of fructose metabolism in the body.

  • The Link With Cancer
Any substance that upsets copper metabolism and energy production, and favors the growth of yeasts and fungi, will tend to favor the growth of trophoblast.  This is a primitive cell type found in association with cancer in the body.  To read more about this interesting topic, read Trophoblasts And Their Relation To Cancer and Cancer And Alternative Therapies on this website.

  • Fructose Is a Very Yin Molecule
Yin refers to a physics quality that is found in Chinese medicine.  It means cold, expanded, and today usually is associated with illness. 

Fructose appears to be more yin than other common sugars such as dextrose (usually made from sugar cane or sugar beets), maltose (milk sugar), and others.  This may be an important reason why fructose may be more harmful than other sugars.

Today, excessive yin is associated with many illnesses including cancer, diabetes, other blood sugar imbalances, obesity, hypothyroidism, adrenal insufficiency and many others.  For much more on this exciting topic, read Yin Disease and Yin And Yang Healing on this website.

  • Fructose Seems to Upset the Nervous System
This is probably due to all of the reasons above.  That is, it is too yin, it is upsetting to the glandular system, and it upsets the sugar-handling mechanism of the body, as well.        

Fructose is found in almost all soft drinks or soda pop today.  It is also widely used as a sweetening agent in hundreds of prepared food items.

CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH EATING FRUCTOSE


In fact, these are too numerous to list.  However, among the most important are hypoglycemia, diabetes, cancer, obesity, high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, other heart disease, fatigue, adrenal burnout, skin, hair and nail problems, varicose veins and many others.  Fructose, along with chlorine and fluoride in the water, refining of wheat into white flour, refining of rice into white rice, and the general degradation of the food supply, may be considered a major cause of modern “diseases of civilization”.

HOW TO AVOID FRUCTOSE

The single easiest way to avoid eating fructose is to avoid eating most fruit, honey, syrups including rice syrup, barley malt and barley syrup.  Also, one must avoid all sweetened beverages and foods, since high-fructose corn syrup is now the cheapest and most widely used sweetener.

Some of the most common sources are most baked goods, sodas, fruit juices, vegetable juices, sports drinks, protein drinks and powders, food bars, prepared soups, even vitamin pills and lozenges, and literally thousands of other common supermarket and health food store products.  For a more complete list, google fructose-containing foods.

FRUCTOSE AND FRUIT-EATING


Unfortunately, anyone who eats a lot of fruit, which means some fruit each day or so, is consuming a lot of fructose.  This is just one of the harmful aspects of eating fruit, and one reason that eating fruit is not recommended on nutritional balancing programs.

Also, anyone who eats a lot of fruit is not getting the right balance of minerals.  This is a deadly combination, in my experience.  This is why the common advice to “eat more fruits and vegetables” is not good nutritional advice.  Far better advice is to avoid fruit altogether, and eat many more cooked vegetables, not raw ones, because human beings do not digest raw vegetables well enough to extract most of the minerals from them.

MERCURY TOXIC

Thanks to the whole issue of the public absolutely avoiding high-fructose corn syrup like the plague, it’s important to look back at one landmark study that revealed the presence of ultra-toxic mercury within the ingredient.

A study by the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy found nearly a third of 55 popular brand-name food and beverage products that listed HFCS as the first or second ingredient were found to contain it. Mercury in all its forms is toxicv, as the experts admits. Even the co-author of the study, Dr. David Wallinga, warns:

“Mercury is toxic in all its forms. Given how much high-fructose corn syrup is consumed by children, it could be a significant additional source of mercury never before considered. We are calling for immediate changes by industry and the [U.S. Food and Drug Administration] to help stop this avoidable mercury contamination of the food supply.”

On a nutritional balancing program, any form of fructose is best avoided for the reasons noted above.

NINE SERVINGS OF VEGETABLES

Please note that there is only one nutritional balancing science, developed by Dr. Paul Eck. All other claims made by other practitioners, not approved by Dr. Lawrence Wilson on his site, have altered Dr. Eck's principles and as such have no in depth understanding of the science, which is very unfortunate.  

Further, altering even one aspect of a nutritional balancing program often ruins it rather completely.  This could be substituting different products that you like better, skipping an aspect of the diet or the supplements, or implementing other diets, such as GAPS OR PALEO, OR something else that people do all the time, such for example using other forms of meditation, other than what is recommended by Dr. Wilson.  In other words, using other products or diets, or meditation, conflicts with the entire program and it seriously reduces its effectiveness. Thus, nutritional balancing science is completely integrated, meaning that the sciences are used together in very unique way and should not be altered by yourself or other practitioners.
