Is there nicotine in ketchup

Answer 1

Nicotineis a normal ingredient in the diet, everyone consumes it, and everyone tests positive for it. No person has ever tested negative for nicotine, in any of the large-scale clinical trials that looked at nicotine presence in the population No one can be shown to have ever been harmed by dietary nicotine Indeed, it may be beneficial since it is so closely associated with the B vitamin group, has multiple well-recognised beneficial effects, and is commonly investigated as a component in medicines for such conditions as Alzheimers. All vegetables of the Solanaceae family contain it, and this includes tomatoes, potatoes and aubergines / eggplants. Many foods contain it, including tea: when you drink tea, you are consuming five active alkaloids and nicotine is one of them. After all, that's why tea works. Nicotine is closely linked with nicotinic acid, a sister compound that in some organisms is a metabolyte, and both are generally co-located in the same vegetables. You may know it better as vitamin B3 or niacin
