How good and healthy is mustard? I really like it myself and use it every day on anything and everything. Can that hurt? I have high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes.

Mustard is made from ground mustard seeds, vinegar, water, sugar and salt. Using a lot of mustard is not recommended because of the sugar and salt. However, it’s more about the foods you use the mustard with than the mustard itself. When you opt for healthy products, there is nothing wrong with adding mustard every now and then as a seasoning.
