CNN reports today that consumer confidence hit an all-time low this month. Raising costs for hard-working families by taxing their clothes, shoes, groceries, television service, taxi rides, gasoline and many more everyday goods and services isn’t going to turn consumer confidence around.

Do your products contain high fructose corn syrup?
If so, which products? At what level?
Do those products contain mercury? At what level?
What is the lawful limit?
In your testing, have you done testing of products for mercury that do not contain high fructose corn syrup as a control?
Could you release the historical data showing testing since 2000 and comment on any switch to mercury free high fructose corn syrup?
Could you encourage the FDA to release the data of its testing of soft drinks for mercury over the years?
Thank you for your work on these issues over the years.
