HFCS - High Fructose Corn Syrup or Highly Flawed Corn Stuff

In the last week my colleagues (being briallinat and well informed as they are!) informed me that corn syrup manufacturers use a process that includes mercury in their production... yuck! Paper found here:

So, instead of reaching for Pepsi, I reluctantly drank water... then I was considering a Dr pepper or SOME sort of contraband liquid to a healthy diet - and in walk some other colleagues, who quickly inform me of the OTHER toxic substances in HFCS, now killing our bee populations.

The worst part - is the totally weak conclusion found at the end of the C&ENews article - that the information on toxic HFCS is important to bee keepers! Duh. What about the humans??
