    Diabetes? Obesity, over time?

    I make ketchup at home and if I were to use the original recipe it would include a shit load of brown sugar and molasses. Like 1/2 cup of each, and that is for maybe 1/2+ of a Heinz bottle, maybe a tad more.

    For health reasons, I made my own recipe but even then, even if I wanted to, I could never be able to eat the equivalent of even half bottle in a day.

    My recipe uses next to no salt, since sodium is used as a preservative. My ketchup will not last for as long as say a Heinz bottle but ketchup form the store has tons of it. So that would add to negative cardiovascular health outcomes, like increased blood pressure, just to name one.
