While I'm not a Biologist, for the life of me I didn't know Mercury came in cells. ... (in Arthur Carlson's voice)
Gads - no wonder Obama's storm troopers in the schools (aka "teachers") are able to manipulate the wealkened minds of their prey so easily...
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.
>> 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.
Did you see this?
Well, let’s use sugar cane for dietary needs and ‘field’ corn for biofuels ...
and sweet corn for the table ...
oops, wait a minute ... something’s not right

My dad had a cool Mercury back in ‘56 ;o)
i have tried to eliminate it from my diet. then i saw it was in my favorite brand of whole wheat bread! so now i have to buy weight watchers whole wheat pita!
(i am 6'3", 205 pounds. not fat at all)
You can find Coca-Cola made with cane sugar instead of corn syrup in stores that cater to Mexicans. It’s imported, from Mexico of course.
Looks like this guy caught the train late, he may have a short ride; from a Wiki contributor:
“Mercury cell
Main article: Castner-Kellner process
In the mercury-cell process, also known as the Castner-Kellner process, a saturated brine solution floats on top of the cathode which is a thin layer of mercury. Chlorine is produced at the anode, and sodium is produced at the cathode where it forms a sodium-mercury amalgam with the mercury. The amalgam is continuously drawn out of the cell and reacted with water which decomposes the amalgam into sodium hydroxide and mercury. The mercury is recycled into the electrolytic cell. Mercury cells are being phased out due to concerns about mercury poisoning from mercury cell pollution such as occurred in Canada (see Ontario Minamata disease) and Japan (see Minamata disease).”
Almost half of tested samples of commercial high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) contained mercury, which was also found in nearly a third of 55 popular brand-name food and beverage products where HFCS is the first- or second-highest labeled ingredient, according to two new U.S. studies... "Mercury is toxic in all its forms. Given how much high-fructose corn syrup is consumed by children, it could be a significant additional source of mercury never before considered. We are calling for immediate changes by industry and the [U.S. Food and Drug Administration] to help stop this avoidable mercury contamination of the food supply," said the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy's Dr. David Wallinga, a co-author of both studies.It's used in low-fat products such as LF salad dressings, and isn't defined as sugar, nice trick, eh?
The article is utter drivel. One cubic MILE of water contains one trillion gallons. One food with the highest level of mercury had 350 ppt or the equivalent of 350 gallons of mercury in a cubic mile of water.
Utter drivel!
