Ketchup Was Sold as Medicine

While ketchup is easily the best condiment besides ranch, it shouldn't be called medicine for anything other than the soul. However, In 1834, Dr. John Cooke Bennet added tomatoes to ketchup. Before that, ketchup had been a concoction of fish or mushrooms. He claimed this new recipe could cure diarrhea, indigestion, jaundice, and rheumatism because the tomatoes introduced more vitamins and antioxidants.
