      Regular sugar and HFCS are metabolzed differently - your liver processes fructose directly which is why it’s linked to fatty liver disease and insulin resistance at higher consumption levels.

        You’re never gonna get me to not consume sugar. Life’s too short to avoid things in moderation.

          I don’t disagree with you at all on that. I just wish food manufacturers would stop adding it. Sugar should be like a salt shaker, you add it yourself.

            But sugar goes in ketchup. Buy sugar free ketchup if you want I guess, but I think sweetness is pretty inherent to ketchup as a condiment. That’s why it’s so good and versatile - it’s got a balance of salty, sweet, sour, and savory.
