We use Homemade BBQ Sauce as the base because it's made with whole plant food ingredients. Store-bought typically has high fructose corn syrup and sodium benzoate. That's right; sodium benzoate is a food additive that extends its shelf life. It's banned in countries outside of the United States. Some side effects may include weight gain, inflammation, ADHD, headache, nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, and mood changes.
