Interesting about the catsup, but not surprising. At least it was just real sugar. I've been looking at some recipes because I do love the stuff but the big brands have HFCS, as I'm sure you know. At least I'd control the sugar that way. Glad you liked it! I have a couple other label revelations up my sleeve, if I get around to them. An hour at the least!

The only disadvantage to reading food labels is that it can turn a half hour shopping trip into an hour! Having recently purchased an organic catsup without reading the label, I was dipping my homemade fries into it and thinking this is possibly the best catsup I have ever had, and on the label, sure enough, sugar as the second ingredient! <abbr><em>Heidi / Savory Tv’s last blog post..<a href="http://www.savory.tv/2009/01/31/stout-stew-recipe/" rel="nofollow">One Pot Wonders, Beef and Stout Stew</a></em></abbr> Stellar post!

It's like sugars. Some are there naturally and then there are the sugars and blasted HFCS on the ingredient list. ;) I'm glad you enjoyed it. I was quite surprised by what I found on those labels!

Actually, it's true that common table salt is made up of sodium, but majority of people are not aware of the fact that not all sodium is common table salt. Sodium is also naturally present in all fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes. And this natural organic sodium is not bad for you, like table salt is. So the amount of sodium is not always a good indication, but depending more on what type of sodium it is. But very informative article and discussion! :) <abbr><em>Easy Dessert’s last blog post..<a href="http://www.easydessertrecipesblog.com/easy-dessert-recipes/merry-cherry-plum-berry-tart" rel="nofollow">Merry Cherry-Plum-Berry Tart</a></em></abbr> Hi ellaella.

Please lmk. That diet makes perfect sense, <strong>rain</strong>. It sounds like a more precise and sensible version of the "no white foods" way of eating some people swear by. Flour always trips me up. It should work, sage. Please lmk.
