Not that I don’t hate the ridiculous health claim but I’m thinking it’s because A, D, E, and K are the fat soluble vitamins… so the fat and oil in the salad dressing helps you absorb A & E.. which isn’t really a great health claim. Also, why only those two?

and feel free to send us your most hate-worthy food crap to include for our next round up.

while I ALWAYS make my own [and why wouldn't you? it's SO much better, much more healthy, takes NO time, never processed ... blah blah, I digress], I do have to remind y’all that vitamins A, D, E, and K are all fat-soluble, and therefore can only be absorbed by the body along with some fat. that could be meat, cheese, OIL, butter, whatever. the point here is that many of these low-fat and healthy salad dressings aren’t actually because one can’t absorb those vital nutrients from all the green stuff without the fat. and while I love salad, why else [really] do I eat all those greens in such large quantities?

now, commercially processed food shouldn’t be making unfounded claims, but in this case, assuming the Wish Bone [eeeew] is overflowing with some kind of oil, it does actually increase absorption of the vitamins.

that’s my foodie-nutrition-geek rant now go eat some greens!!
