just like most condiments, it's base ingredient is high fructose corn syrup....if you go to the health section at your
grocery store you can get some that is without the syrup...more expensive but....

It's bad, but not that bad.

Can of Coca-Cola = 40 grams of sugar...

2 Tbsp of Heinz Ketchup = 8 grams of sugar...

I'd say eating some ketcup with your meal is a HELL of a lot BETTER than drinking a soda with it...

Did you know that the ketchup at McDonalds says Heinz (or whatever brand), but it is McDonalds own secret recipe made specially for them ~ just like EVERYTHING else they have.

No significance in that statement. Just thought I'd tell ya :D
