And also, I want to say, I LOVE the title of the post. :) Wow, thankfully I’ve been eating healthy for years, and HFCS has been virtually nonexistent in my diet… but this truly scary!!

I work with Oceana, an ocean conservation group which is working to pass legislation you talked about. If you would like more information on the mercury-based chlor-alkali facilities please visit oceana.org/mercury. Also you can send an e-mail to the factories themselves asking them to convert to a mercury-free process at http://takeaction.oceana.org/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=11215. Finally, one of the best things you can do is e-mail your members of Congress and ask them to support the bill to eliminate mercury use in chlor-alkali production.

I've been watching it for a year or so with my own family (much to the chagrin of my 2 children) and it's amazing how long it took me just to find a loaf of whole what bread without HFCS in it. This is where we turn to local, organic farmers and start cooking more from scratch. Just read about the HFCS yesterday.
