    Hopefully when it gets to the point the citizens have to start executing these people who put these poisons in our foods and will continute with the politicians. This is why so many people are sick in this country. People should advise everyone not to eat rocessed junk in the grocery store or in restaurants. People have to realize they make the stuff taste good so you'll come back.

    Mercury is known to cause insanity. As well, we now have a hole in the magnetosphere and the result of that is…insanity. Put that together, and you have a recipe for creating mass insanity on the planet. This is not a pretty future, folks.

    You don't say what the concentration of mercury is in the corn syrup. Chances it is parts per trillion, or billion. This is not what I would describe as "mercury laden".

    The mercury in florescent lighting of any kind is in elemental form, which is not toxic. Modern lighting uses a tiny amount, compared to lighting equipment made in the sixties, and seventies. I can remember seeing drops of mercury in florescent tubes when I was a kid in the sixties. To become toxic mercury must be made water soluble, as for instance methyl mercury which is created when mercury is metabolized by bacteria. This is a natural process which occurs in the sediment at the bottom of lakes, and streams. Not on the floor of your kitchen, when the bulb is broken. Ionic mercury compounds such as mercuric chloride, which saved many lives by being used as a disinfectant by doctors in the last century, are toxic. These compounds disassociate in aqueous solution yielding mercury cations, which are mercury atoms stripped of one or more electrons, buy the water's highly polar nature. Mercury evaporates at room temperature, and soon leaves your home for the great outdoors. Falling later in precipitation, particularly in colder climes. Florescent lighting actually results in less heavy metals being released into the environment, by decreasing the electricity used, and thus the amount of coal that is mined, and burned around the world. Coal contains large amounts of lead, uranium, cadmium, arsenic, chromium, and mercury itself. Different coal has differing levels of these elements, but it universally has more than high fructose corn syrup.

    1. William Readling, thank you for the reasoned reply. We need more people like you.

      I found one of the source articles at http://www.iatp.org/documents/not-so-sweet-missin…. Page 12 of the .pdf has the details. Based on their figures, the dosage probably exceeds the recommended maximum intake for many people.

      TO NATURAL SOCIETY: Please put references on your articles. It would be a great help. Thank you.

      Naturalnews has an article relating to this. It says that the average amount of HFCS a woman ingests daily is 12 tsp & had 5x the regulated mercury limit!

      Why do I get the impression that you're trying to downplay the danger and toxicity of mercury? It is toxic in any amount and that is indisputable. Also, you're forgetting something. Mercury deposits in deep tissues and nerve cells and is often hard to remove from the body. Therefore, exposure of small amounts over time will cause an accumulation of mercury within the body. I understand that you probably come from an elder generation which used to regard mercury as safe. I've heard stories from people that remember decades ago playing with liquid mercury in their hands. However, toxicology has advanced since then, and mercury is no joke. Why do you think that mercury is nontoxic when it is not water soluble? You just mentioned mercury evaporating. Is it nontoxic when it enters your lungs? You didn't show any proof, did you? Maybe we should just believe every word you said because you can actually form concise paragraphs. All you did was attempt to deflect the dangers of mercury by changing the subject to coal. What does coal have to do with HFCS? There are so many holes in your statements that I must conclude you are either a paid disinfo agent or just generally misled.

  5. Thanks for trying, William. Let's see who listens.

    And we wonder why autism has increased sinse the mid 70's….and why obese moms have increased risk for kids to be affected….no ammount is safe to the fetus or developing brain. Poison.

    1. Just a word from the painfully awake. When the mainstream news comes out with one yet another goofy "cause"..ie. too much tv, old dads, old moms, cell phone towers, and the latest… fat moms. You are being had. Generally, that's to cover something REAL and TRuTHFuLL "hey" don't want the generous sleepy populus to know. But yes, when we have our kids tested, they are off the charts loaded with mercury, aluminum, lead… and the list goes on. But, you never read about that, nope, Move along, nothing to see here.

  7. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE !!! WHERE IS ALL THE NEWS MEDIA COVERAGE OF THIS ? I DON'T EAT ANY GRAIN AND WHEN I STOPPED I LOST 45 LBS IN 2 MONTHS. I DIDN'T HAVE THAT MUCH WEIGHT TO LOSE. IT WAS INFLAMATION FROM POISON AND I THINK IT'S THE GRAINS, ALL GRAINS !!
