"Ketchup, which many consider harmless, actually has a negative effect on heart health."
Medianews.az reports that cardiologist Aurelio Rojas said this.
During the production of this sauce, a large amount of sugar and high fructose corn syrup is added to it.
According to the specialist, excessive use of ketchup causes a sharp increase in blood glucose and insulin levels, as well as chronic inflammation, which negatively affects the heart.
He does not consider it necessary to completely give up the product but recommends minimizing its use.
