Hi Steve,

I prefer olive oil. I like how it tastes, and it has
proven health benefits if the health of Sicilians, South
Italians, and Greeks are anything to go by. The
following is an interesting read. Some people feel this
website is biased, but enjoy anyway if you wish:

Proven health benefits?

I thought their good health was from tomatoes and tomato
sauce? or was it pasta? or was it red wine with every meal?
or was it the material in the suits they wear? ...no I think
it was olive oil this week.

Huh? You mean eating eucalorically and doing lots of
exercise does not kill them? Well it does eventually.

I used to have this Johnny's Roasted Garlic Marinade for
quite some time. The ingredients are This is in the order
of priority Canola Oil.: water, sugar, vinegar, but it goes
down here and it says it has high fructose corn syrup, of
course we all know about that.

I hope so. Much the same as table sugar, fruit juice or
honey.

But then a little further down, it' s even got things like
potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate. It's got xantham gum
and it's got calcium desodium and propylene glycol
alginate. I'm just curious, that is probably just a whole
mess of preservatives. I'm curious what are those things,
are they good or bad? Why are they in there?

Preserve from going bad, thickening and other necessities.
No problem if approved for human consumption by a reasonable
heath authority.

I'm not too excited about some of those words?

You don't eat the words, the substances are fine in the
quantities meant to be eaten.

Now I'm looking over at Newman's. I've switched over to
Newman's actually. I've been using this olive oil and
vinegar once again in the order of ingredients, it says it
has olive oil, and then the next ingredient is vegetable
oil (soybean oil and/or canola oil). So what kind of and
of course it doesn't have any of the preservatives that
Johnny's has. What is the extent of the vegetable oil, the
health aspect of vegetable oil? Then it says soybean oil,
canola oil, we don't even know how much of those two items
are included in vegetable oil. What is soybean and canola
oil, are those oils healthy or not? Once again I am
looking at Newman's Italian Parmesan and it does have the
xamtham gum in
it. I'm just curious what that is for, maybe for
consistency. See it's also in the Newman's Caesar
Dressing too. Just curious the health benefits of
canola oil or these oils. I notice that some of them
have a lot of sodium in them too. Thanks for any input
you might have?

As I said, in the small quantities you are meant to eat,
they will do you no harm.

I have to agree with you moosh... HFCS is the media's devil
of the week... You will be hearing about something else
next month that "is causing the high levels of obesity in
our children"

The key is to eat in moderation... whether it is ice cream
or carrot sticks, moderation is what will keep you
healthy... DO you drink the dressing? I hope not... You
should be okay. Unless you want to make your own, you will
have a hard time finding dressing that only uses Olive Oil,
Vinegar, and spices... Why, because Olve Oil costs
money,more money than canola or soy, and therefore it does
nor behoove the dressing maker to use all Olive Oil... The
other oils are fine in moderation, as is almost every type
of food... Moderation is key.

Yes, the media are always pandering to folks' quest for
scapegoats. They do it for just about everything. From
politics to religion to science and so on.

Yep, as my old man used to say, "A little of what you like
does you good".

And more people are killed with a knife and a fork
than by guns.

My little brother piped in once that this was true of the
father of a school friend who slit his own throat with a
carving knife.
