High Fructose Corn Syrup - with Mercury Too!
They took the mercury out of vaccines years ago, but it seems they may have forgotten to check the high fructose corn syrup, a sweetener used almost everywhere. Despite the Corn Refiners Association's assurances that it's "fine in moderation" and ...
Flu shots, pregnancy and the unborn child
Hard to believe but it's already flu season again. Or, to be more accurate, it's really (hopefully) flu PREVENTION season. This week the Center for Disease Control whipped out a new, stronger than ever campaign to get pregnant women and young ...

At least as far back as 2005, studies have shown clearly that there is no link between the thimerosal in vaccines and autism. First, there was a study in Japan, then there was one in Canada, but the anti-vaccine folks dismissed them, perhaps because ...Boys contaminate town with mercury
Oh, kids. The stuff they get into. Like the group of West Virginia boys who took some mercury from an abandoned dentist's office, and then proceeded to track the stuff into their school, homes, church and public library. Fortunately, none seem to ...
No tuna for pregnant women
I remember reading that high mercury fish should be avoided during pregnancy, specifically albacore tuna. I asked my family physician about other kinds of tuna (because tuna is my favorite sandwich, other than feta and tomato, which was already ...

A broken thermometer and a few drops of mercury spilled at an elementary school brought out the hazardous materials team from two area fire departments to clean it up. It may seem like overkill but officials say it's all necessary, “Mercury is ...
