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.

Yes, but mercury is not flushed from the system. Eating it every day will accumulate.

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.
