It's true that Heinz organic ketchup is free from high fructose corn syrup--but it's sweetened with "organic sugar." (In the UK, the label reads something like "organic invert sugar syrup.") So, if you're diabetic, this is still off-limits. Agave, on the other hand, is metabolized differently, as I understand it, so can be safely consumed by those who are on restricted-sugar diets. Otherwise, as long as the ingredients are organic, it's pretty much a matter of taste. (And I enjoy Heinz, as well as a few other ketchup-style condiments.) Here's a good round-up of several different varieties you might be interested in: http://www.thenibble.com/reviews/main/condiments/ketchup/ketchup-roundup.asp Cheers, Sandy Thanks for reading, Simon!

I believe the Organic version is sans high fructose corn syrup if that helps. I am from Pittsburgh, so that may color my judgment, but from what I understand, people across the country feel the same way about heinz.
