Tomatoes have a micro nutrient called Lycopene. Studies have found Lycopene to be high in anti-oxidants and cancer fighting properties. Organic Ketchup and tomatoes have much higher levels than non-organic.
Adults may not benefit as much from the switch, but if your child uses ketchup on a lot of food, it adds up. It tastes different than good ol' Heinz, so if you have a particularly picky eater, maybe mix the 2 types for a while until (s)he develops a taste for the organic one. Oh and Heinz has High Fructose Corn Syrup as the 3rd ingredient. By making the switch to Organic, you will also be decreasing the HFCS in your little one's diet.
