Not sure if this is news, but it was news to me. I'm excited to see the new Corn Refiners Association's commercials disavowing this discovery. -Andrew Miller, SOAN 249

MONDAY, Jan. 26 (HealthDay News) -- Almost half of tested samples of commercial high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) contained mercury, which was also found in nearly a third of 55 popular brand-name food and beverage products where HFCS is the first- or second-highest labeled ingredient, according to... Leerlo!!!!

55% of samples!? z0MG!! I now have even more reasons not to eat this stuff. We have food-supply problems (Read "The Omnivore's Dilemma").

sk

don't make with Trader Joe's wasabi mayo

Can be made vegan using soymilk, vegan margarine and egg replacer.

Very moist, corn kernels add pockets of juice. Replaced red pepper flakes with reduced cayenne.

variant suggestions

great as written but do not need that much butter on the bottom

# 4 tablespoons butter, olive oil, lard or bacon drippings # 1 1/2 cups medium-grind cornmeal # 1/2 cup all-purpose flour # 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder # 1 teaspoon salt # 1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar # 2 eggs # 1 1/4 cups milk, more if needed

Used ~1 T bacon fat in pan; 2-3 T sugar, 2 eggs, 1 c thawed frozen corn. Pretty good. The bacon flavor was good - could have used more. Could also have been a bit sweeter, for me. Audrey didn't like the corn kernels, but Gautam did.

RT @farmgeek The average American eats 60 pounds of High Fructose Corn Syrup every year http://bit.ly/bfiFWi >>just wow

Toldja so!

hello i visit your blog, u visit mine

A Princeton University research team has demonstrated that all sweeteners are not equal when it comes to weight gain: Rats with access to high-fructose corn syrup gained significantly more weight than those with access to table sugar, even when their overall caloric intake was the same.

Among rats fed calorically identical quantities of table sugar and HFCS, those fed corn syrup gain as much as 48% more weight. Fascinating.
