Ketchup is everywhere! Scrambled eggs, fries, , burgers, chicken, pasta, are all enhanced with a big red dollop of Heinz ketchup. Some diehards have other foods to add it with, making this a indispensable condiment.
Did you ever read the nutrition facts before squeezing this stuff onto your barbecue? You might want to do that. Be ready to throw out your contaminated plate. You will feel sick!
About the Ingredients
It’s time to burst the bubble. Turn over the bottle. I know you don’t want to but do it anyway. You will see the following ingredient list:
Heinz sounds like they are trying really hard (and failing) to make their product sound healthy. ‘Tomato concentrate from ripe red tomatoes’ is a fancy way of saying ‘Processed tomatoes that have lost their nutritional value but we are going to make them sound good by putting in ‘ripe red.’ They are preying on the ignorance of the consumers. The producer wants you to think that ‘corn syrup’ is healthier than ‘high fructose corn syrup.’ In reality, these ingredients are the same thing: high fructose corn syrup.
This is a trick. Perhaps since the population is becoming more aware of the importance of the order on product labels so they split the same ingredient under two names. If they didn’t do this, the list may appear like this:
As for the salt, Heinz uses the cheapest type of salt that causes toxicity in the blood, high blood pressure, and mineral imbalance if consumed too often.
‘Natural flavoring’… Heaven knows what that means!
By eating one tablespoon of this junk, you are inhaling 7% of your sugar intake and a large portion of your daily sodium. That’s just one tablespoon of a condiment! Who uses only one tablespoon of ketchup on their ? These numbers add up fast!
3 Scientific Reason To Put Heinz Out of Business
That might have not surprised to you, but this will: An FDA researcher was refused a barrel sample of corn syrup from the producers so she contacted a new beverage company for the barrel. After the testing, she discovered that high fructose corn surip contains high levels of mercury. Yes, mercury, that exorbitantly toxic metal which affects the brain, nervous system, can lead to autism, and is particularly harmful to children.
So about your picky child who won’t eat any new food unless it’s smothered in ketchup… BAD IDEA!
2. Distilled Vinegar and Sugar
Distilled vinegar is not the good type of vinegars you pour on your salads. Distilled vinegar is created from GMO corn which it bred with and chemicals. There is not benefit to your health, only detriment. The high fructose corn syrup was not enough for Heinz!
3. No Nutritional Value
No fiber, no protein, no minerals… oh wait, there’s 2% of Vitamin A and C! Great. A lousy 2% cannot come close to the sugar and sodium that this condiment is injecting into us.
Avoid Heinz At All Costs
This doesn’t mean you have lost your favorite condiment and dip forever. There are many options on the market for a healthier organic, non-GMO . The best way is to make your own! It’s easy and takes two minutes. Click here to learn how.
