Are you sure? My wife is allergic to corn syrup, and we find it in EVERYTHING. 95%+ of spaghetti sauce, even in canned vegetables. It's surprising how sweet things are these days. Our standard for starting a new recipe is to cut the sugar by 1/2 to 1/3rd, that way you can taste the other ingredients.

Even buying tea is tough, many are very sweet. Sadly the sugar lobby has been successful in blocking imports, setting price floors, and generally keeping sugar higher priced than corn syrup, which from what I can tell is worse for people's health.
