"Condiment Clash: Nutritionists Weigh in on Ketchup vs. Mustard Debate"

Nutrition experts weigh in on the health aspects of ketchup and mustard, highlighting that mustard generally has fewer calories, no sugar, and less sodium compared to ketchup, which contains sugar and higher sodium levels. Ketchup, however, is a source of the antioxidant lycopene. Both condiments can be part of a healthy diet if used in moderation and if mindful of sugar and sodium content. Mustard, especially without added sugars like in honey mustard, is typically considered the healthier choice, particularly for those watching their sugar intake or needing to limit calories.
