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.

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

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.

Right. So after drinking 66 gallons of corn syrup, you'll have accumulated the same amount of mercury as from drinking one gallon of tap water. All carnivores are big accumulators of mercury. The best bet is to only eat young herbivores and drink scotch.
