Ok, so most ketchup ends up on French fries and hamburgers, right?

What you didn’t know, however, is that simple ketchup it making your already unhealthy fries and burger even worse.

The second biggest ingredient in ketchup is high fructose corn syrup (sugar). That means that it’s GMO corn. Some labels even state that their ketchup has two different kinds of sugar!

Combining sugar and fats (ketchup on your fries) is a dangerous combination as far as your health is concerned. Also, the ketchup is usually listed as being from concentrate, which means it’s been heated and boiled down. This removes many of the nutrients that would give it any health benefits.

Many brands of ketchup also contain excessive sodium levels, artificial colors, and artificial flavors, as well as a ton of preservatives. Most of these things are just not good for your body.

If you love ketchup, look for ketchup that has little or no added sugars and keep your consumption to a minimum.
