Pop-Tarts for Breakfast

While at a curriculum fair this summer I bought myself a new book- something to read just for fun.


And I sure am enjoying "The Vision" by Debi Pearl. She includes footer text with current information throughout the book along with the story line. When I read last night that high-fructose corn syrup contained mercury, I just had to check out her sources this morning. And guess what... those Pop-Tarts or Nestle Chocolate Mix we had for breakfast contain levels of mercury. Check it out at http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/news/20090127/mercury-in-high-fructose-corn-syrup and pass me a Nutri-Grain bar. There safe- right?
