> 1.  Some samples of HFCS 55 corn syrup should be sent to Bayer for analysis.

It is also used in food.  I wouldn't be talking to Bayer but your 
equivalent of the FDA and USDA if you think they are contaminating our 
food supply.
First, I have three unanswered emails to the Pest Management Regulatory Agency. 
I also have three answered phone calls, despite the fact that the message says
"normally we will get back to you within 24 hours"
Second, the maximum residue allowed in corn is 80 ppb.  That is no danger to mammals,
only to insects.  Potatoes can have 300 ppb.  Tomatoe paste is allowed 1000 ppb.
But were they thinking of feeding corn syrup to bees when they set the level?????
