Wallinga and colleagues said they believed the mercury got into the food during manufacture, at plants that use mercury-grade caustic soda produced in industrial chlorine plants, although his team was unable to show this.





He said his team did not test foods that did not contain corn syrup to see if they were also high in mercury.



So how we do know it’s corn syrup? How do we know its not just from the manufacturing process of food more generally?
