Mercury in High Fructose Corn Syrup?

Jon and I generally try to avoid products containing high fructose corn syrup (HFCS).  I do enjoy an occasional pop, especially when I sick, but otherwise generally will stick to flavored soda water (not diet.)   Here is another reason to avoid HFCS, as there are reports of mercury found in the sticky substance.  Yikes!
