Unfortunately for BBQ lovers everywhere, BBQ sauce is simply not good for you. We love that smoky flavor on our grilled meats, too, but it's time we acknowledged that it's one of the unhealthier condiments out there. It's basically all high fructose corn syrup, which, as we've mentioned, is linked to a whole bunch of scary diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, and metabolic syndrome. We know what we'd rather choose!
Instead of pouring a bottle of sugar on your dinner, why not consider a healthier alternative? Mustard is full of flavor and perfect for the job. You can also make your own BBQ sauce if you really can't give it up. Online recipes can show you how to make a pretty healthy version with a combination of Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, tomato paste, and other spices.
