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.

**Quick tips:**
– Choose low-sugar options
– Use it sparingly
– Try homemade versions with real ingredients
