Not sure if this is news, but it was news to me. I'm excited to see the new Corn Refiners Association's commercials disavowing this discovery. -Andrew Miller, SOAN 249
MONDAY, Jan. 26 (HealthDay News) -- 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... Leerlo!!!!
55% of samples!? z0MG!! I now have even more reasons not to eat this stuff. We have food-supply problems (Read "The Omnivore's Dilemma").Princeton University - A sweet problem: Princeton researchers find that high-fructose corn syrup prompts considerably more weight gain

Toldja so!
hello i visit your blog, u visit mine
A Princeton University research team has demonstrated that all sweeteners are not equal when it comes to weight gain: Rats with access to high-fructose corn syrup gained significantly more weight than those with access to table sugar, even when their overall caloric intake was the same.
Among rats fed calorically identical quantities of table sugar and HFCS, those fed corn syrup gain as much as 48% more weight. Fascinating.
