mercury found in many name brand food products

No, high fructose corn syrup’s still not good for you, no matter what the Corn Refiners’ ads say. In fact, those ads really sound ridiculous now that
it’s not just obesity and diabetes we’re talking about. A group of scientists at the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy tested 55 common
consumer products that use high fructose corn syrup — and found mercury in 17 of them! (via Ethicurean)
The reason: High fructose corn syrup’s made using caustic soda, some of which is made at plants that also make chlorine using a process involving
mercury. That mercury can get into the chlorine and the caustic soda, and thereby, the high fructose corn syrup. That mercury-laced high fructose
syrup then gets put into your popular everyday supermarket product! Here are the 14 products that tested positive for mercury:
Product Name - Total Mercury - Limit of Detection (ppt)
Quaker Oatmeal to Go 350 80
Jack Daniel’s Barbecue Sauce (Heinz) 300 100
Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup 257 50
Kraft Original Barbecue Sauce 200 100
Nutri-Grain Strawberry Cereal Bars 180 80
Manwich Bold Sloppy Joe 150 80
Market Pantry Grape Jelly 130 80
Smucker’s Strawberry Jelly 100 80
Pop-Tarts Frosted Blueberry 100 80
Hunt’s Tomato Ketchup 87 50
Wish-Bone Western Sweet & Smooth Dressing 72 50
Coca-Cola Classic 62 50
Yoplait Strawberry Yogurt 60 20
Minute Maid Berry Punch 40 30
Yoo-hoo Chocolate Drink 30 20
Nesquik Chocolate Milk 30 20
Kemps Fat Free Chocolate Milk 30 20

Mmmm!

Not worried about this.
The worst items on that list are the two barbecue sauces at 100 parts per trillion, which is one twentieth of the limit that the EPA has set as a safe
mercury content level for drinking water (2 parts per billion). Consider how much drinking water you consume versus how much barbecue sauce you
consume.
I'm more concerned with the CFL light bulbs that everybody is being pushed to use. You break one of those and you have a hazmat situation in your
house. Check out the instructions from the EPA regarding what to do if you break a CFL: http://www.epa.gov/mercury/spills/#fluorescent

Fluoro lights is a good call, Australia is actually BANNING incandescent lighting and forcing fluoro's on people, with no plan whatsoever to dispose
of them when they are done. There's some recycle plants thinnly spread but no real plan for millions of homes to throw these things out aside from
the normal trash. Then the mercury will just leech into the ground and cause all sorts of hell.
A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s
a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal
favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.
- Paul Morris, music director at 97.7 HTZ-FM
