The Danger Of Canned Tomato Sauce

Several studies have linked tomatoes to a healthy heart. However, canned tomato sauces come with some risk. Many canned foods contain high amounts of salt, which could result in congestive heart failure, according to the University of California, San Francisco.

According to the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, at least 75% of packaged and canned foods have added sugars and salt. Since canned tomato sauces often have sugar and salt, they may negatively impact heart disease. Choose a sauce with low salt and sugar if you can find one.
