VERDICT
National Ketchup is good ketchup which is tasty and adds values to the meal. If the consumption per day is just 1 tablespoon the researchers say that it provides all the health benefits preciously mentioned in the advantages, however, if the consumption increases more than the 1 tablespoon suggested, it might create issues like heart diseases and obesity due to the added oil in the ketchup. Therefore, it’s better to consume National Ketchup with its suggested quantity to be safe from deathly diseases. On the other hand, if I talk about my personal opinion, National ketchup as compared to other available ketchup has a very high amount of vinegar which disturbs digestion and the smell of vinegar is quite irritating too.
