Ketchup!🍅

In the 1830s, ketchup had an unexpected role as a medicine! Dr. John Cook Bennett, an American physician, promoted tomato ketchup as a cure for ailments like diarrhea, indigestion, and jaundice12. He even created “tomato pills” from concentrated ketchup, claiming they had remarkable health benefits1. However, these claims were eventually debunked, and ketchup transitioned from a medicinal remedy to the beloved condiment we know today2. 🍅 please like share and follow my channel, Thank you.
