According to a lab test, it was found that this particular sugar is fully loaded with mercury, a heavy metal that is hazardous in nature. Usually, in most cases, heavy metals are carcinogenic in nature. Like in the case of mercury, it can impair or take a toll in your body in one way or another. 

From a biological point of view, mercury is associated with a number of cancers. High levels of mercury exposure can harm the brain, heart, kidneys, lungs, and immune system of people of all ages. 

The chemical promotes genetic mutations that lead to cancer. It usually disrupts genetic material, DNA by interfering with copying and distribution of base pairs of DNA into daughter cells. As a result, the cells of that particular tissue undergo uncontrolled proliferation which in turn cause tumors alias cancer. 

According to Dr Hans Nolte  as quoted drsircus.com, it is reported that methylmercury, a derivative of mercury is associated with a number of cancers.

Possible cancers associated with it include kidney, bone, liver, gallbladder, lung and stomach cancer.
