High-fructose corn syrup, a ubiquitous ingredient present in processed foods and sugary beverages across the globe, is a well-known health destroyer with ties to conditions like metabolic damage and cancer. Now, scientists have revealed that the substance — oftentimes genetically modified — may also be damaging the brain functions of consumers worldwide.
In fact, the official release goes as far to say that high-fructose corn syrup can make you ‘stupid’. Conducted by the UCLA and published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Physiology, the study is the first to demonstrate how a diet heavily concentrated with high-fructose corn syrup can hamper brain functions — particularly those associated with memory and learning.

The process to create corn syrup is in part the reason why Mercury is present in it. The industry uses the same vats to create chemical processes and to create corn syrup. The makers save money this way. The HFCS is addictive and suppresses our ability the know when we have eaten enough. This with a poor diet, is the reason for obesity.
Because the government is subsidizing all those farms to grow corn and HFCS is part of that machine. Not to mention that wonderful Corporate Empire Known as Monsanto. Most of the corn commercially grown in the US is GMO. Therefore the HFCS is also GMO. Imagine that !
And in England, parents are fined or worse if their kids get fat. Why aren't they fining or banning the makers of HFCS?
This is why americans are fat because it is in almost all foods. We know corn is poison, HFC is big pharma's best friend.
