Quick Health Tips: Spaghetti Sauce (from JB)


Prego ingredients
tomato puree (water, tomato paste); diced tomatoes; corn syrup; vegetable oil; salt; onion powder; spices (basil, oregano, and other spices); dehydrated garlic; citric acid; dehydrated parsley; spice extract.


Ragu ingredients
tomato puree (water, tomato paste); soybean oil; high-fructose corn syrup; salt; dried onions; extra virgin olive oil; Romano cheese; spices; natural flavor.


Bertoli or Classico ingredients
Diced tomatoes; tomato puree; onions; garlic; pure olive oil; salt; basil; spices.


My choice? The Bertoli or the Classico sauces are more natural and much healthier products. I also think they taste better. My favorite is the Bertoli Tomato and Basil.

Health Tip: Corn syrup (high fructose or otherwise) is not good for you.
Health Tip: Olive oil is GOOD fat (monounsaturated) = GOOD for your heart.

That post was designed for people who are concerned about eating healthier... not people who use spray butter on their cornflakes while on a "cereal" diet.

That cut me deep John...You know how to cut to the core of me.

Consider our friendship over! We will still be connected, but only by blood my sweet cousin.

Wait a minute, Wendi and I are blood-related! You are only a cousin by marriage!

That's it...we are through!
