Study Shows Presence of Mercury in Some Food Products Containing High-Fructose Corn Syrup

In an article just published by the journal Environmental Health, researchers report having found mercury in 9 of 20 samples of commercial high fructose corn syrup. They point to an outdated processing technique that employs mercury to make high-fructose corn syrup.
