Comment on YSK that if you hesitate between Ketchup and Mustard, you should pick Mustard. It's healthier.
LordMayor@piefed.social 5 hours agoKetchup is high in sugar. That alone makes mustard a healthier choice. It’s not some pseudoscience.
The YSK is poorly worded but not wrong.

It is?
According to whom, again?
What do you mean by “high”?
Again, more pseudoscience

When the USA was civilized we required every food sold to the public to list its nutritional information.
calories-info.com/mustard-vs-ketchup/
100g of ketchup or mustard both have about 100 calories, with ketchup getting more of those calories from carbohydrates and much less from fat.
Even if you make your own ketchup or buy a no-sugar added brand, it still has a fair amount of carbohydrates. And a substantial amount of salt.

Both are worth including if you’re calorie counting. (And don’t necessarily trust the per-serving size label, since if they set that low enough they can round down and claim a 100% fat cooking spray is 0 calories. We only used to be civilized.)
