HFCS contains dangerous chemicals and contaminants
Beside the ginormous load of pure fructose and sugar found in HCFS, as an added bonus, it contains other chemical toxins. Chemical contaminants used during manufacturing end up in the HFCS and in our food. What we know, for example, is that chloralkali is used in making high fructose corn syrup. Chloralkai contains mercury. And there are trace amounts of mercury found in high fructose corn syrup-containing beverages.

I avoid HFCS "like the plague" but I'm not sure this is a helpful argument.

You're conflating two different issues. Sorry.
Moving on to real discussions...

You're totally in league with Big Corn, which sounds painful and may require different shoes.
