Junk food is mercury-laden!

I saw an ad in Martha Stewart Living Magazine attempting to dispel the "myth" that high fructose corn syrup makes you fat. Well, I don't know about that, I'm sure it makes you just as fat as sugar, and now it seems that almost half of hfcs-containing processed foods contain levels of mercury above the "safe" threshold. http://fanaticcook.blogspot.com/2009/01/theres-mercury-in-high-fructose-corn.html

Thanks for the heads up and reminder not to put junk into our bodies. It's very scary to think about what is in all of that processed food.

Have you seen the propaganda commercials for high fructose corn syrup? I thought that it was a joke when I saw it.
