So, most of us love this stuff. It's a great condiment right?! The problem is that we never have just one serving. A serving of this incredible stuff is 1 count it again,1 tablespoon which equals 1 teaspoon of sugar.The problem is that most of us do well over that in one sitting. I remember when I was sitting down in the truck stop to eat a meal and reach for this wonderful stuff. I would coat my fries with it and mayo which we'll talk about another time. As I was saying, I would probably have 6 servings minimum. I mean let's be totally honest here, can anyone honestly say they do 1 tablespoon of Ketchup at a time? REALLY? LOL So if you figure that you're having lets say 6 servings/tablespoons than that's 6 teaspoons of sugar and as we've learned, adults are only supposed to have 6 to 9 max a day. So when you look at it that way, it's not so good anymore. I used to think, Hey it's made from vegetables so it must be good! Yea, I know, I was wrong.
