0 I think "by dint of" is just a formal-sounding way of saying "because of" or "due to." Ketchup, because it is so popular, is something that often tempts people to go off their diets. It's not a very commonly used expression - usually you would hear it in the phrase "by dint of hard work." (By dint of hard work, he had gradually gained the respect of all his colleagues.) 0-
