Answers:
The 4 g of sugar per 1 T serving is your proof! That is a LOT of sugar in grams!Www@FoodAQ@Com

It is a condiment!! that is why everyone is saying it is unhealthy just like mustard, Mayonnaise, salad dressing, Miracle Whip, etc!.

There is nothing unhealthy about any food unless it is that some people eat way too much of it!. However anything containing tomato in any form is very healthy for the heart!.

Ketchup of all manufacturers contains some corn syrup and this is what a lot of people are objecting to!. But corn syrup is a very inexpensive way of sweetening a lot of foods in bulk!.

So you can make your own ketchup if you want!. Cook and puree the tomatoes, onions and whatever else you want in your ketchup!. Add the vinegar, salt and spices!.

Did you know that the original ketchups were not ever tomato! They were a lot of other vegetable sauces in bottles, home made and home bottled, but never tomato based as all ketchups today are!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
