NEVER eat this salad dressing‏



In almost every case, you should steer clear of store-bought, packaged salad dressings. Simply put, the salad dressings that you find on the grocery store shelves are almost always filled with these fat-storing, health-damaging ingredients:

1. Denatured and trans fats. Most store-bought salad dressings are made with cheap, denatured and highly processed fats. If you see vegetable oil, canola oil, or soybean oil on the ingredient list, steer clear! These damaged fats can and will wreak havoc on your health and your waistline.

2. Excessive sugar and/or high fructose corn syrup. Store-bought salad dressing is notorious for packing in loads of sugar, including the #1 worst form, man-made high fructose corn syrup.

3. Artificial ingredients, colors, preservatives, and sweeteners. These man-made, unnatural ingredients are found in nearly every dressing, but especially "light" or "low calorie" dressings. Marketed as healthy or as a good choice for those look to drop flab, these waist-expanding ingredients won't get you any closer to your fatloss goals, and it comes at the expense of your health.
