UNDRESSED - Im a bit obsessed with a good salad. Im not talking about a sprinkling of limp rocket on the side. Im talking a big textured salad the size of a small country filled with amazing abundant flavours and colours, high in protein and power packed with taste. With every good salad you need a brilliant salad dressing too! Lets take a closer look at two of these common ones you find in the supermarket. The Kraft dressing contains Antioxident 320. This is NOT to be confused with antioxidants that are good for you that you get from eating brightly coloured fruits and vegetables. This is a food additive that has been banned in some countries. Butylated hydroxyanisole (320) can cause headaches, fatigue, depression & asthma. It can also damage your DNA and causes cancer in animals. Thickener 407 is another nasty one and can cause inflammatory bowel disease. Ironically this is also one that is often found in infant formula & ice-cream. The Praise dressing contains sulfites as a preservative which I always avoid especially with my children. Sulfites are often used to preserve fruit and can lead to all sorts of behavioural and allergic reactions, hay fever, skin rashes and hives. Apparently the colour needs some help too so weve also got a nice sprinkling of Caramel (notice how they have used a word not a number here) which can also be known as E150 or E150D. This is often genetically modified and can cause gastro- intestinal problems and asthma. So make not mistake - if you think you are being healthy by having a salad then to pour this dressing on top THIS IS NOT A HEALTHY OPTION. This is a chemical shitstorm. I am NOT a science experiment and I REFUSE to consume chemicals in my foods that are not proven to be safe. Read your ingredients - if in doubt make it yourself!
