This is a hard pill to swallow, high fructose corn syrup contains mercury a known neuro toxin. I recently came across an article in the Chicago Tribune; "Mercury in corn syrup? Food made with ingredient may have traces of toxic metal", the article was posted on the tribs website on January 27, 2009. How can this be? It appears that the mercury is getting into the corn syrup through the process of making corn syrup. You can read the article online at Chicago tribune's website.
Jen at News Anchor Mom has a small list of foods that contained mercury. To see her list click here. Thank goodness that my kids have not had the foods on this list in a long while.
Just one more reason I buy organics!
