Mercury in High Fructose Corn Syrup

This post is intended to make everyone read and think before they eat, but especially my pregnant girlfriends. I was recently alerted to an article from www.healthday.com about levels of mercury found in high fructose corn syrup and foods that contain it. For anyone who has done or is doing research on vaccinations will know that claims of mercury being the cause of the high rate of Autism/ADD in our country is highly accepted as fact and also very plausible. So as we think about our future and make decisions about raising our children, I think it's important to consider simple things like what you're going to feed your kids. More immediately though, we should be thinking about our nutrition while we're growing our little ones inside of us. Our doctors tell us to stay away from certain types of fish because of mercury levels, but now we have something else to consider. We don't want to pass anything unhealthy to those little buns. So my advice ladies is to READ READ READ the labels of everything that you eat and drink while you're preggers, while you're breastfeeding, and when you start to feed your little bun big people food. There are already too many obstacles in life to overcome. We can reduce the risk of learning disabilities. Here is a link to the article:
