High Fructose Corn Syrup Contaminated with Mercury!
Disturbing new research has found that high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) has been contaminated with
mercury, potentially for many years. Nearly one-third of the HFCS-containing grocery products tested in
the study were found to contain detectable levels of mercury.
Mercury was found in nearly 50% of tested samples of commercial high fructose corn syrup (HFCS),
according to a new article published recently in the scientific journal, Environmental Health. A
separate study by the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP) detected mercury in nearly
one-third of 55 popular brandname food and beverage products where HFCS is the first or second highest
labeled ingredient-including products by Quaker, Hershey's, Kraft and Smucker's.
HFCS is found in sweetened beverages, breads, cereals, breakfast bars, lunch meats, yogurts, soups and
condiments. Sadly, on average, Americans consume about 12 teaspoons per day of HFCS. Consumption by
teenagers and other high consumers can be up to 80% above average levels.
I advise you to avoid consuming HFCS altogether, which of course, includes the products it contains!
"Mercury is toxic in all its forms," said IATP's David Wallinga, M.D., and a co-author in both studies.
"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 FDA
to help stop this avoidable mercury contamination of the food supply."

I always advise that "homemade" is best... using honey, stevia, maple syrup or other natural
sweeteners.
How to Get Rid of Mercury in the Body!
God has designed the body so incredibly that it constantly is healing itself. Renewing cells, cleaning
cells, tissues and organs.
Chlorella (green algea), the highest natural source of chlorophyl helps it do this!!!
Chloressense Chlorella is 100% pure... containing no binders, fillers or other additives...
AND it's made by God.
Dosage for detox is 6 tablets 3 times daily.
300 count bottles are $35.00
MSM is also an excellent natural detox, dosage is 12 grams (4 1,000 mg capsules 3 times daily)... or
more daily. Be sure to drink extra water when detoxing and be prepared for some unpleasant effects as
the body is moving out toxins - headaches, fatigue, muscle "heaviness," etc.
Studies Question Health Benefit of Post-Exercise Meals - Nix the Energy Bars!
Unless you are a competitive athlete, consuming sports drinks or high-carbohydrate foods such as energy
bars right after exercising may negate the health benefits of physical exercise.

SCRIPTURE
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (2 Peter 3:18)
Grace is for spiritual growth and progress in the Lord. The Lord has ordained for us a life-long
involvement with His grace. He wants to work "grace for [upon] grace" (John 1:16) for the rest of our
days. This is the "new and living way" (Hebrews 10:20). Growth in Christ always results as God's grace
works in us.
Hebrews 13:9 is one of the many places in Scripture that indicate progressive sanctification
(that is, growth in godliness) is by grace. "It is good that the heart be established by grace."
When a person truly lives by the grace of God, righteousness and peace result, not ungodliness. As a
person increasingly learns to draw upon God's grace for daily living, Christlikeness develops, not
worldliness. As grace becomes our resource for life, sin diminishes; it does not increase. "For sin
shall not have dominion over you: for you are not under law but under grace" (Romans 6:14).
The temptation is to rely upon the law of God in order to generate godliness. The demand of the law to
be holy, loving, and perfect becomes a false security to our flesh. We think that by hearing, repeating,
or striving to meet this demand, we can thereby accomplish it. Let us not forget that "the law made
nothing perfect; on the other hand, there is the bringing in of a better hope" (Hebrews 7:18-19). God's
grace is the "better hope" that does not fail to bring forth what God desires.
We cannot change ourselves and we cannot change others. But we can pray that God will change us and that
He will change them.
Living a Healthy Lifestyle the way God desires for us is not an instantaneous change for most. It is a
process that requires the grace of God. I pray each of you enter into the grace of God as you pursue
health, healthy lifestyles, living and eating according to God's plan!
Blessings,
Dr. Beth
