Unsweet Advice: Are Ketchup and Mayo Okay to Eat?

August 08, 2008 ↓ Comments (1)

Hi David! I have a quick question for you. How do you handle ketchup and mayo? I bought a no sugar ketsup and it is gross. Do I have to give up ketsup? What about mayo? Thank you!

I still eat both ketchup and mayonnaise. Sugar free mayo is common and doesn’t taste bad (to me). I eat ketchup rarely and we don’t keep any in the house. Since everyone is different, the determining factor would be if after eating either one you find yourself craving and or bingeing on ketchup or mayo covered foods.

Can you successfully avoid eating ketchup and/or mayo for two months with little to no struggle? The answer to that question will indicate if you can eat it or not and in what quantities if you do have any.

Don’t Do it!

Unless you get a cane sugar sweetened catsup in the health food store, it’s gonna be high fructose corn syrup. THat stuff has been implicated in atherosclerosis, obesity, etc. I am lucky/unfortunate to be allergic to corn (with corn syrup and starch the worst offenders) so I know waaay too much about what all that stuff is in. Put it this way: I imagined the aisles of the grocery story empty of corn syrup containing products once - and you guessed it. the store was more than half empty! Pass the apples,
