Sauces and condiments
Even if you think they are a pretty innocent way to enhance the flavor and texture of your meals, that’s not what a nutritionist would think. Most sauces and condiments available on the shelves of your local supermarket are packed with high-fructose corn syrup.
Two items that are particularly abundant in HFCS are barbecue sauce and ketchup. Only two tablespoons of barbecue sauce have 11 grams of added sugar, while a tablespoon of ketchup packs 3 grams. If you still want to consume your hot dog with ketchup, at least opt for a brand that doesn’t contain high-fructose corn syrup. Ahh, and take the one that has the least amount of sugar.
