"If you have a salad with a fat-free dressing, there is a reduction in calories, but you lose some of the benefits of the vegetables."

Guest LadyC Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 truth is, anything marked low fat or "lite" is ALWAYS less nutritious than the full fat counterpart. fats are an important part of our diet.... and they're important for mental acuity... they keep our brain healthy. there are good fats and bad fats, of course, but as a general rule of thumb, you should never go "lite".

I think corn syrup is far more damaging. As for bleu cheese, one either likes it or hates it. I have also had a gorgonzola cheese dressing that is great. More of a bite to it.

Spent over and hour getting rimmed out because my blood sugar levels are to high, as well as everything else. The appointment was scheduled for only 15 minutes...I complained that they were making me late for the all you can eat pancakes at I Hops. Some people have no sense of humor!

When I was making tabouli a lot, and going through a lot of olive oil, I had a cholesterol well below 200. It is a healthy oil to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking, based on what he said, that the vinagrette has sugar in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
