Studies find mercury in much U.S. corn syrup | Science & Health | Reuters — Although this report stems form this research here. It’s not being reported to any extreme (yet) in the American press. The extent to which this unnatural product has gotten into the food supply in the USA is a crime.

Many common foods made using commercial high fructose corn syrup contain mercury as well, researchers reported on Tuesday, while another study suggested the corn syrup itself is contaminated.

Food processors and the corn syrup industry group attacked the findings as flawed and outdated, but the researchers said it was important for people to know about any potential sources of the toxic metal in their food.

In one study, published in the journal Environmental Health, former Food and Drug Administration scientist Renee Dufault and colleagues tested 20 samples of high fructose corn syrup and found detectable mercury in nine of the 20 samples.

Dufault said in a statement that she told the FDA about her findings but the agency did not follow up.

Found by Aric Mackey who predicts that to combat this menace, the FDA will change the specification so it is OK to have more mercury in our food.
