Studies find mercury in much U.S. corn syrup | Science & Health | Reuters — Although this report stems form this research here. It’s not being reported to any extreme (yet) in the American press. The extent to which this unnatural product has gotten into the food supply in the USA is a crime.
Many common foods made using commercial high fructose corn syrup contain mercury as well, researchers reported on Tuesday, while another study suggested the corn syrup itself is contaminated.
Food processors and the corn syrup industry group attacked the findings as flawed and outdated, but the researchers said it was important for people to know about any potential sources of the toxic metal in their food.
In one study, published in the journal Environmental Health, former Food and Drug Administration scientist Renee Dufault and colleagues tested 20 samples of high fructose corn syrup and found detectable mercury in nine of the 20 samples.
Dufault said in a statement that she told the FDA about her findings but the agency did not follow up.
Found by Aric Mackey who predicts that to combat this menace, the FDA will change the specification so it is OK to have more mercury in our food.
Wow. The comment stream has become a repository of BS, misinformation, disinformation and hopeless blather when it comes to this sort of topic. Next on the agenda: soybean oil!
ubiquitoast==and thats hard to tell since he carefully designs his posts so they don’t mean anything (HAW!!==as in “not!)
The irony is that I agree with you on the whole, I was just clarifying the composition of a few common sugars, which apparently is the same as “no information”.
That’s ok, I’ll still probably agree with most of what you say.

That being said, I’m still eating sugary stuff but in moderation.
#63–ubi==I treat each thread as an opportunity for a whole new conversation. I just went back and re-read your post #42. You are right, and I am wrong. I misread what you clearly and simply posted.
To that end, in real life I find that 90% of the time I stomp around as an asshole, I turn out to be wrong. Only 10% when done on this blog, but this is in that 10%.
I apologize, and compliment you for being a gentleperson throughout. What do you do to sweat?
