Why don't they go back to, you know, using sugar?

Read the label. Try to find any food prduct without HFCS. It is impossible. HFCS is bad, yet it continues to be used in nearly every single thing you buy at the grocery store.

Hysteria. Don't fall for it.
30 to 300 parts per trillion. The standard for drinking water is 2,000 parts per trillion.
I dislike HFCS. That being said, it's more dangerous to drink water. This article is hyperbolic BS.

teens and other high consumers can take in 80 percent more HFCS than average. Gads - no wonder Obama's storm troopers in the schools (aka "teachers") are able to manipulate the wealkened minds of their prey so easily...

Wait a second. I thought Mercury was good now. Isn’t that why we have to destroy the incandecent light bulb?

How MUCH Mercury is contained in HFCS? Is this the revelation of a new problem, or the result of really, really, really cool technology able to discover prepostrously small concentrations?

In the first study, researchers found detectable levels of mercury in nine of 20 samples of commercial HFCS.
I'd bet that, if they could make the tests more sensitive, they'd be able to detect it in all of them.
Detectable is a meaningless term based solely on the sophistication of the testing methods used. It does work well as a scare tactic, though.

30 to 300 parts per trillion. The standard for drinking water is 2,000 parts per trillion. Yes, but mercury is not flushed from the system. Eating it every day will accumulate.

>> On average, Americans consume about 12 teaspoons per day of HFCS, but teens and other high consumers can take in 80 percent more HFCS than average.... The chemical was most common in HFCS-containing dairy products, dressings and condiments. <<
I’m not thinking teens take in abnormally large amounts of dairy products, dressings and condiments.

Yes, but the standard for drinking water is created with that in mind.

...not so. I’m as conservative as they come, but I go to “Whole Foods” and other Marxist hang outs to get HFCS free foods. You pay more, but it tastes better and IS better for you. There are very few commercial products that ARE good for you.

You have to look hard, but there are plenty of foods that use cane sugar instead.
I don’t drink much soda (pop?) but when I do,I buy Boylans or Jones which are both made with cane sugar.

I thought Mercury was good now. We'll have to wait for The Dear Leader (Das Lieber Fuhrer) to tell us what to think about Mercury.
It may be Good, or it may be like Rush Limbaugh (Bad).
Say, is it almost time for The Two-Minute Hate, and for us to pray for the destruction of Limbaughstein? ;-)

There's more mercury in drinking water than there is mercury in HFCS.
In the worst case scenario, you'd still have to drink 6.7 cups of pure HFCS to equal the mercury in one cup of tap water.
I think you might want to consider giving up drinking water.
