Grist’s post examining the link between high-fructose corn syrup and autism caused quite a rumpus. So much so that Grist’s executive editor posted a follow-up semi-apologetic correction and a more detailed article examining both article and review.

Paper asks: Does high-fructose corn syrup contribute to a rise in autism?
Why that corn-syrup-and-autism study leaves such a sour taste
