Does Your BBQ Sauce contain High Fructose Corn Syrup?

If it is in the 1st 5 ingredients, put it back on the shelf and choose something else.  There is alot of controversy over the dangers to our health from HFCS (high fructose corn syrup). 

Here's an excerpt from an article in dLife, a magazine for people with diabetes.  While, I personally don't have diabetes (and I would like to keep it that way) its valuable to everyone because the information comes from qualified and objective sources.  The commercials you see on TV are part of a public relations campaign paid for by the companies who have the most to gain from you ingesting their products.  Your health is at the bottom, if at all on their list of priorities when it comes to developing products such as HFCS.  The cost of sugar was rising in the 70's and manufacturers were looking for a means of reducing their costs.  They looked to corn because we had plenty of it and the government was even subsidizing it.  Alas, HFCS is born.  HFCS is in almost every thing because it is a very cheap substitute for table sugar. 

If I substituted HFCS for the honey in my Balsamic Honey Gourmet BBQ Sauce, my cost would go down and I could reduce the price of a bottle by $1.00.

'Despite the natural-sounding ring of fructose, HFCS does not come from fruit. Instead, it’s a highly purified blend of sugars (typically 55 percent fructose and 45 percent glucose) derived from corn. Because the fructose in HFCS is part of a manmade blend (as opposed to the natural compound of sugars found in fruit), the body metabolizes it very differently from other sugars.'
