5 Reasons High Fructose Corn Syrup Will Kill You by Mark Hyman, MD: http://drhyman.com/blog/2011/05/13/5-reasons-high-fructose-corn-syrup-will-kill-you/#close

As long as I can remember, I have been addicted to Heinz Ketchup. That is over 50 years. I was a snob about it. Now that I'm trying to eliminate high-fructose corn syrup (it isn't easy) from my diet, I wasn't going to pay the higher priced organic Heinz to avoid HFCS. I got my first bottle of Hunt's 100% Natural Ketchup (contains no HFCS) and knew it wasn't Heinz, but would put up with it. Then while talking about this at work, a friend said "Simply Heinz has NO HFCS". I checked into it. OH HAPPY DAY! The great taste of Heinz without HFCS. I'll take the sugar. And without the higher organic price.

8. Haha, your husband is just like mine.

He does the Costco shopping and never checks with me to see whether we need something or not. At one point I had about eight pounds of butter in the freezer.

7. This is one of the most ridiculously priced items in the grocery store.

Often times large bottles of Heinz are like a third of the price of smaller bottles. I shop by the "cents per" and this is the only wildly off item.
