This is huge. The autism community has long suspected that mercury is a driver, yet eliminating it from childhood vaccines hasn't lowered the rate. Could HFCS-borne mercury be the cause? HFCS was introduced into the food supply in the mid to late 1980s, and autism cases have grown 15-fold since then. (I believe HFCS is also the major driver of the parabolic growth in diabetes during the same period.)

"This is huge" no it isn't: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=452906 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=452906 "The US allowable limit for mercury in bottled water (and tap water) is 2000 parts per trillion. The report documents a maximum of 350 parts per trillion in Quaker Oatmeal to Go. Omitting that data which provides context probably tells you a lot about the people who wrote the report."
