It’s time to ketchup with the times

Love ketchup? You’re not alone—but doctors say it’s worth a closer look.*

Most store-bought ketchup, like Heinz, is made from tomato *concentrate*, not fresh tomatoes. And it’s loaded with sugar—*two teaspoons per serving*—thanks to both high-fructose corn syrup and corn syrup. One bottle can pack over 30 tablespoons of sugar.

Labels also list vague terms like “natural flavors” and “spices,” which can hide unknown additives

Health pros warn:** Overusing ketchup could contribute to high blood pressure, weight gain, and even sugar addiction—especially in kids
