I guess I just buy bizarre stuff. Like tonic water, marmalade and
barbecue sauce (the examples above).

Guess I haven't bothered to study the ingredients lists. The
three I pulled out were 2 and 1 also. My bbq sauce was just corn
syrup. The no name catsup and Snapple were high fructose corn syrup.
I didn't see one with both ingredients, but the bbq sauce also has
brown sugar listed.

Now I'm curious: how much higher-fructose is the HFCS and the plain
CS?

The only clue would be order of appearance on the list, and of course
that's only a matter of "more" and "less". On the two labels above
(marmalade and barbeque sauce) where they both they appear, they are
listed in the order I've shown them.

Marmalade: "Corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup..."

They are the first two listed ingredients.

As for the barbeque sauce, the first listed ingredient is "High fructose
corn syrup". The "corn syrup" comes WAY down the list, even below
the preservative monosodium benzoate.

barbecue sauce (the examples above).

Outrageous!

Pretty kinky, eh?

I kinda figured that.

The three I pulled out were 2 and 1 also. My bbq sauce was just corn
syrup. The no name catsup and Snapple were high fructose corn syrup.

brown sugar listed.

For the record, with the three products I listed, the only other
sweetener was the BBQ sauce's molasses.

If Wikipedia is reliable on this subject, CS is mostly glucose, which
is enzymatically changed into fructose to make HFCS.

Oh, I thought you bought them for cooking.

I'm thinking the high fructose stuff has a worse glycemic index
and maybe tastes sweeter. But don't worry, the price of everything
will go up when they up the use of corn for biofuel.

I believe Mexico already had a tortilla crisis.

Yes, they do. That will be sending more Mexicans our way. Anyone believe
in unintended consequences.
