Perhaps the most shocking aspect of ketchup is its high sugar content. Though considered savory, ketchup is essentially a sugary sauce in disguise.
🔴 A standard 1.3-liter Heinz bottle contains 33 tablespoons of sugar—that’s more than 2 cups!
🔴 Just 1 tablespoon of ketchup = 4 grams of sugar, about the same as 1 teaspoon of table sugar.
For those who use ketchup liberally, the sugar intake adds up fast—potentially contributing to:
Weight gain
Type 2 diabetes
Tooth decay
Cognitive decline
