Antifreeze is sweet (they say). How would you feel about "hardly any antifreeze" in your ketchup? Or crack. Sugar is both a poison and highly addictive. Studies show Oreos are more addictive than cocaine. Extreme examples? Perhaps. But you might be amazed how eliminating all added sweetener from your diet would make you feel. See, the problem isn't the sweetener in the ketchup. It's that you have to use more and more for it to taste right. And everything else has to have "hardly any sugar" to taste right. Average daily sugar intake is stunning.
