Hysteria. Don't fall for it.

30 to 300 parts per trillion. The standard for drinking water is 2,000 parts per trillion.

Given kids today drink more soda/fruit juice/sport drinks that contain HFCS than they do water, I don't think the 'hysteria' is completely overblown.

Mercury in trace amounts causes behavioral problems and ADD from what I've read in the past. I wonder if HFCS consumed in soda, fruit juice, sports drinks and the rest of what these kids drink today may be a bigger cause of learning problems and behavoiral issues than previously thought.

I wonder how mercury content in HFCS compares to mercury content in other commonly found food ingredients. Also, 30 to 300 parts per trillion, a 1000% variable. What % of samples was 30 parts and what % was 300?

Why do I keep thinking of Alar as I read these posts?

According to the stats, they would be getting less mercury from the HFCS than the water.

Do I like HFCS? Not really. I prefer real cane sugar. But is HFCS going to give anyone mercury poisoning? No. The article is hyperbole designed to breed fear and sell papers.
