I would also like to thank you for posting this article. I'm with alison b above--this stuff is bad for us on its own and the mercury angle just gives it a more sinister twist. I have a good friend who is a mercury poisoning survivor and I sent him the link as well.
I've cut out probably about 95% of the HFCS from my diet since April and it has helped me so much in terms of weight loss. It does show up in some of the breads I buy but as often as possible I try to get loaves without any in it.
I stopped letting my 11-year-old son drink Snapple due to the HFCS but was heartened to see that they not only re-did their labels, they re-did their ingredients and now it contains good ol' sugar. It's not like I'll let him drink it everyday or anything, but I was happy to see they pulled that ingredient out.
