Another reason to avoid High Fructose Corn Syrup - the mercury connection

So I just blogged about my frustration at the recent propaganda out from the Corn Refiners Association, they are blanketing the commercials and Magazing ads (including in Family Fun Magazine!) with how "safe" High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) is "in moderation". I don't buy it, I've read what this stuff is and what it does to your body. And it is SO prevalent, it is in many, many things, including ketchup. Over the course of a day with a typical American diet, kids are getting way more than you think they would be. But, there is new evidence out that shows how even more harmful this is due to the way it is processed in the first place. Over half of all HFCS has mercury in it. I think we'd all agree that mercury is a bad thing for the body and brain. As if just the HFCS alone wasn't bad enough. Here is an article that talks about these findings. I will let you read for yourself. Just one more reason to read those labels and get rid of all products with HFCS, not even in moderation.....
