31 Everyday Foods That Are Terrible for Your Health (Avoid Them at All Costs)

21. Fat-free salad dressing

Here’s a tip I always follow, stay away from anything labeled ‘fat-free’. Chances are fat will be the least of your worries when you check out the other ingredients companies have to use to make up for the missing fat content.

Typical fat-free salad dressings are made of water, corn syrup, and soybean oil; a classic low cost trifecta for companies to manufacture cheap products to us.

We know that corn syrup is bad for us but what about soybean oil?

According to Chris Kresser, soybean oil contains more omega-6 fatty acids than omega-3s. When you consume more omega-6s than omega-3s, you run the risk of developing chronic inflammatory issues like as asthma, allergies, and even arthritis.
