Ketchup Update

Since I posted my Ketchup blog, I tried out the Hunt's Ketchup with cane sugar.  It certainly tastes good and I am wondering what would happen if I did a blind taste test with various ketchups.  I wonder if I could pick out the high fructose corn syrup ketchups from the cane sugar ketchups?  I certainly know there is a serious health problem with HFSC and I avoid it like any other poison.  I have heard there is a real taste difference between cane sugar and HFSC.  The Mexican Coca-cola is made with cane sugar and it taste like real Coke and much better than the US Coke make with HFSC. 

CANE SUGAR KETCHUP

Everyday you see more and more articles on the dangers of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS).  I noticed the other day at Von's Grocery Store a bottle of Heinz Ketchup that had across the label "Simply Heinz".  I picked up the bottle and read the ingredients.  It had plain old sugar, instead of HFCS.  I had expected that this would be the year we see HFCS banned like Trans-Fat.  Instead of a ban, the chemical industry is trying to change the name of HFCS to "corn sugar".  For more information about the health effects of HFCS see this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM.  The science on HFCS is shows that it is bad and a reasonable person should avoid it.  I also noticed the Hunt's Ketchup which boldly had on its label "NO HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP".  Heinz is still putting HFCS in its regular ketchup.  As for Del Monte, it's not on the shelf so I don't know what is in it.  When I was a kid, we used Del Monte Catsup.  When President Reagan decided ketchup was a vegetable, only ketchup counted, catsup was out.  Many of the companies scrambled to change the name from catsup to ketchup though the product was the same.  I don't know what happened to Del Monte Catsup.  I have seen it in Mexico but not in San Diego.
