Why is so much low sodium food not available in no High Fructose Corn Surup?

Having gone on this low sodium diet, it has really started to annoy me to see how so many products seem to replace low sodium with high fructose corn syrup. Personally if I want low sodium, I don't want High Fructose Corn Syrup.
A great example is Heinz Ketchup. Kelly and I had gotten used to the excellent Reduced Sugar Heinz (which has not high fructose Corn Syrup). It not so sweet, and is quite good.

Now after my surgery I have had to move to the No Salt Heinz, but it is again super sweet, as it has high fructose corns syrup. I love that it has no salt, but can't they combine the two?

And so many low fat or heart healthy foods also have so much high fructose corn syrup. Do they use the sugar to cover the chemicals they put in? Well I would rather have more vinegar, or something natural! Sweet is not the answer!
