I've always loved ketchup. As a child it was my go-to condiment. Judging from the way my children use ketchup, I'd hazard a guess that it's as popular as ever. The largest problem with this tasty tomato treat is that most brands are loaded with sugar - corn syrup to be exact. This is by far one of my least favorite ingredients. I've searched high and low for a brand of ketchup that I would be comfortable offering to my family. I've managed to find one nationally popular brand that fit the bill, but my kids tell me it "tastes funny". (I have no idea what they are talking about; it tastes fine to me.) So my search has continued for ketchup that tastes "right" to them and yet doesn't contain sugar.

Diabetes Health recently published an article by diabetes expert Hope Warshaw that has stirred up quite a hornet's nest in the low carb community. In her piece titled Type 2 Diabetes: From Old Dogma to New Realities, Warshaw discusses what she believes are basically old wives' tales about diabetes care, while recommending a fantastic new treatment. The problem here? Her ideas are not new, fantastic or even scientific. And that old wives' tale, or "old dogma" as she likes to phrase it, happens to be what science has proven to work for those wishing to sustain healthy blood sugar levels. What is the old dogma you ask? A low carbohydrate diet.
