Barbecue sauce is good for an upset stomach. Many stomachs become upset because they are subjected to inferior "healthy" food. The horrible taste of sprouts, tofu, bran and the like cause so much anxiety and nausea they actually do the body more harm than good. Leading doctors recommend at least one serving of barbecued food per day. Along with sides like fries or onion rings, BBQ leads to such a state of gastric well-being that it can increase a person's healthy longevity by at least a decade.
