No, HFC is not in everything....

No it isn't.

Read the labels in the store, not in your home and you'll do fine.

I've got a can right here of DelMonte Diced Tomatoes (I use it for low
carb beanless or soy bean chili).

1/2 c serving
6g carbs
2g fiber

Ingredients: Tomatoes, Tomato Juice, Salt, Calcium Chloride, Citric Acid.

No sugar carbs in it at all right?

food manufacturers often add quite a bit of sugar into tomatoey
stuffs, be ultra careful when you shop for them.

tomato puree in mayo might be of lower carb...

Just the ones in the tomatoes, no added HFC.

Right, of course, for next time. Meanwhile me6 should take the cans
back to the store and ask for a refund.

I've posted here before that the food industry has people who lie <sic>
awake nights thinking of how to get HFC into more products.

Agreed

While HFC is not in "everything"....my point in my
original message is that its in a LOT of things it
doesn't NEED to be.

To maximize profit,one wants the cheapest ingredients.

HFC is a real dirt cheap sweetner.

Pure profit motives, (American) capitalism, will result in HFC being in
a lot of foods.

Unless, it costs them too much money in lawsuits.... or other
inhibitions to the profit motive.

If one is careful, there are actually plain canned tomatoes. I buy them all
the time for chili and homemade sauces. When one gets into things that say
"original RECIPE", it means that yes, you're not just getting plain
tomatoes. I'm one of those people who read the ingredients listing in its
entirety before deciding to buy.

That having been said, the best insurance is to stop buying "products", and
just go straight to the source. We're only asking for it when we depend on
the food industry to provide all our nearly-ready-made meals for us. If
what we eat is important, we can reject 80% of what's on the supermarket
shelves and make our own food 🙂

I find a combination works the best for me. Bagged salads and frozen
stir-fry vegetables are my convenience foods, since the part of cooking I
hate the most is chopping. If I add my own meat to a stir fry or chopped
egg to a salad, I have a pretty well-balanced low-carb meal, imo.
