Scary Food: Heinz Isn’t Ketchup: 5 Reasons You Must Avoid It

By Jack Allen – Interesting article below, Israel’s Health Ministry in 2015 ruled that Heinz ketchup does not contain a sufficient amount of “tomato solids” for it to be classified as ketchup. The question I have then is why is Heinz Ketchup marked Kosher? Kosher marks of course do not have anything to do with the quality of the food and products. The products don’t taste any better or work any better. The video below is by Brother Nathanael who was raised Jewish but has become an Orthodox Christian. In his video he calls Kosher a scam. Control The Food, You Control The People – The Great Kosher Scam On You!

    The Very Secret Superstitious Kosher Nonsense Tax That 95% Of Gentile Consumers Blindly Pay Everyday?

    Heinz Isn’t Ketchup: 5 Reasons You Must Avoid It
    By Vandita

    Following a lobbying campaign by Osem, which owns the biggest selling ketchup in the country, Israel’s Health Ministry in 2015 ruled that Heinz ketchup does not contain a sufficient amount of “tomato solids” for it to be classified as ketchup, downgrading it instead to “tomato seasoning”. Israeli food standards require ketchup to hold 41% of tomato concentrate; Heinz only held 21% of tomato concentrate.

    However, it’s not the only reason to avoid the world’s favorite brand (that’s what the company claims). Heinz Ketchup is not only unhealthy but extremely toxic and quite dangerous to consume over time. 5 reasons why you should be cautious about this condiment:

    1. High Fructose Corn Syrup: The FDA doesn’t list ketchup as lethal. But since high fructose corn syrup can kill you, you are not safe either. This toxic ingredient made from heavily genetically modified corn is a major cause of heart disease, obesity, cancer, dementia, liver failure, tooth decay, and diabetes. Once metabolized by your body, it can lead to a sharp spike in your blood sugar levels, wreak havoc with your immune system, and damage your liver.

    Additionally, high fructose corn syrup contains mercury not regulated or measured by the FDA. In 2009, two studies conducted in the United States found mercury in nearly a third of 55 popular branded food and beverage products where high fructose corn syrup was the first- or second-highest labeled ingredient.

    “Mercury is toxic in all its forms. Given how much high-fructose corn syrup is consumed by children, it could be a significant additional source of mercury never before considered. We are calling for immediate changes by industry and the [US Food and Drug Administration] to help stop this avoidable mercury contamination of the food supply,” the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy’s Dr. David Wallinga, a co-author of both studies, had warned.

    2. Sugar: Heinz Tomato Ketchup contains 23.6 grams sugar per 100 grams. According to the American Heart Association, the maximum amount of added sugars you should eat in a day is (for men) 37.5 grams or 9 teaspoons and (for women) 25 grams or 6 teaspoons per day. A tablespoon-size serving has 4 grams of sugar. 1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons. Who eats only 1 tablespoon? For visual delight, watch the video below:

    3. Distilled Vinegar: A lawsuit filed in 2014 alleged that Heinz Distilled Vinegar was not all natural but was made from genetically modified corn, which is grown with toxic pesticides and chemicals. The term distilled vinegar is something of a misnomer, because it is not produced by distillation but by fermentation of distilled alcohol. The fermentate is diluted to produce a colorless solution of 5% to 8% acetic acid in water, with a pH of about 2.4. The pH scale runs from 0 to 14. Values below 7 are acidic.

    4. Sodium: The biggest problem with ketchup is that it is high in sodium. One tablespoon can contain up to 190 milligrams of sodium. Heinz Tomato Ketchup contains 907 milligrams sodium per 100 grams – that’s 37%. Combined with the many other places that sodium appears in your diet, this definitely is a problem.

    5. GMO: According to the USDA, more than 90% of all corn grown in the US is genetically modified. While high fructose corn syrup and corn syrup are directly derived from genetically modified corn, tomato concentrate (contains citric acid derived from corn), vinegar (made from rye and corn) and salt (contains dextrose derived from corn) have an indirect role to play in making the Heinz ketchup unhealthy.
