Assuming two 570 ml bottles of standard ketchup per day, and using a typical ketchup profile, that comes out to roughly 1,140 kcal, 243 g sugar, and 10.3 g sodium per day. That is about 5.2 times the WHO sodium limit for adults, and 4.9 times the WHO free sugar benchmark for a 2,000 kcal diet.
I’d expect… After a week:
water retention, increased thirst, heartburn, stomach irritation, possible nausea or diarrhea.
After a Month:
noticeable weight gain, elevated blood pressure, dental damage from sugar and acidity, blood sugar instability.
After a year:
risk of insulin resistance, cardiovascular risk, clear deterioration in overall diet quality and metabolic health.
