Bring up mercury on a listserv of foodies and you'll receive a wide range of opinions in response. That's exactly what I did this morning, with a question prompted by Curtis Abbey, who asked whether the amount of mercury found in the high fructose corn syrup was really a big deal.
After all, canned albacore tuna has an average of .353 ppm (parts per million) mercury, whereas foods containing HFCS tested only as high as 350 ppt (parts per trillion). The tuna has over 1000 times more mercury than the HFCS.
The discussion continues below.
