What’s your favorite condiment, and where does it rank as far as HEALTH goes? Someone asked nutritionists to name the best and worst condiments for our health. Here are the top three for each . . .
The healthiest: Mustard, salsa, and straight vinegar. Vinegar might be #1, because it’s good for your gut and adds a lot of flavor without adding salt, sugar, or fat. Mustard also has little-to-no sugar, but it’s salty. Salsa can be salty too, but has a ton of vegetables.
The least healthy: Mayonnaise, ketchup, and barbecue sauce. Mayo is the worst because of all the saturated fat. Ketchup and barbecue sauce are next because they’re usually loaded with sugar.
