Subject: Tricks and Treats for Kids and Moms!
Friend,
Sugar (sucrose) and High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) are more addictive
than cocaine and also the leading cause of cancer, heart disease and
Type II diabetes. Worse than sugar and to the horror of most parents,
HFCS carries even more side-effects courtesy of mercury!
That's right, MERCURY!
Published in Environmental Health, researchers found detectable levels of
mercury in nine of 20 candy samples of commercial HFCS. This study
was supported by another one. The Institute for Agriculture and Trade
Policy (IATP), a non-profit watchdog group, found that nearly one in
three of 55 brand-name candies contained mercury.
The mercury is the result of processing methods that yield HFCS!
What does that mean for kids running down the leaf covered streets
begging for candy?
It means a lifetime of poor health.
The Yale School of Public Health sounded alarms saying that "no
amount of mercury is safe for children."
Duh.
More frightening, they told parents that, "Damage of the nervous system
caused by mercury is likely to be permanent."
This doesn't have to ruin Halloween.
In place of letting our kids attack piles of candy with their face, we BUY
BACK the candy in exchange for safer treats (Wholefoods) and cash. The
cash can be spent on Legos or books.
Try it. Be honest with your kids about the risks of packaged foods.
Let them know that the government doesn't regulate companies that
poison our food.
Dare to Live Young!
