Heinz ingredients:
tomato concentrate made from red ripe tomatoes, distilled vinegar, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, salt, spice, onion powder, and natural flavors. this ketchup is high in lycopene as well

I'm really quite surprised that the syrup is all the way down at #3 for this product. I would not have been shocked at all to see it in the number one slot.

I don't use it much and definitely not on hotdogs :nono:

I think I only use it for hamburgers with mustard too, and to make cocktail sauce.

I am trying to improve on what I eat so all the new organic stuff sounds good and I have been slowly adding different organic items into my diet. I do have one question though

In post 13 where Agent lists the nasty stuff in Heinz he states "this ketchup is high in lycopene as well " like it is a bad thing. Then in post 15 where he gives us the ingredients of the organic stuff he says: "also an excellent source of lycopene"

So I'll ask the obvious: Is this lycopene stuff good for me or not??

Lycopene is a bright red carotene and carotenoid pigment and phytochemical found in tomatoes and other red fruits & vegetables, such as red carrots, watermelons and papayas (but not strawberries or cherries). Although lycopene is chemically a carotene, it has no vitamin A activity.
In plants, algae, and other photosynthetic organisms, lycopene is an important intermediate in the biosynthesis of many carotenoids, including beta carotene, responsible for yellow, orange or red pigmentation, photosynthesis, and photo-protection. Structurally, it is a tetraterpene assembled from eight isoprene units, composed entirely of carbon and hydrogen, and is insoluble in water. Lycopene's eleven conjugated double bonds give it its deep red color and are responsible for its antioxidant activity. Due to its strong color and non-toxicity, lycopene is a useful food coloring.[1]
Lycopene is not an essential nutrient for humans, but is commonly found in the diet, mainly from dishes prepared with tomato sauce. When absorbed from the stomach, lycopene is transported in the blood by various lipoproteins and accumulates in the liver, adrenal glands, and testes.
Because preliminary research has shown an inverse correlation between consumption of tomatoes and cancer risk, lycopene has been considered a potential agent for prevention of some types of cancers, particularly prostate cancer. However, this area of research and the relationship with prostate cancer have been deemed insufficient of evidence for health claim approval by the US Food and Drug Administration (see below under Antioxidant properties and potential health benefits).
