The Tragic Abuse of Corn

Comment from the contributor:
Truthout.org -- Recent testing shows many high-fructose corn syrup products contain mercury, which is poisonous to humans. This, in addition to the suggested link between the corn-based sweetener and obesity, as well as the environment is certainly reason to pause when shopping and reconsider fresh foods. It is time to find out where our food comes from and how it is treated.
The fuel alternative, ethanol, uses more energy than it yields. But more importantly, people use corn in this context to subjugate underdeveloped nations, as the U.S. tries to force High-Fructose Corn Syrup onto nations like Mexico. Corn is being used as a weapon, both abroad and at home.
