Delicious salad dressings can brighten up ordinary fruits and vegetables and create a variety of attractive flavors. However, Japanese nutritionists point out that these seemingly healthy foods contain extremely high calories and can cause harm to health if eaten in excess.

At present, the salad dressings sold on the market mainly include mayonnaise, Thousand Island dressing, etc. Studies have proven that mayonnaise contains the highest calories among all salad dressings. Experts believe that this is mainly because more than half of the raw materials of mayonnaise come from cooking oil, followed by egg yolk, plus a little sugar, salt and vinegar. One tablespoon of mayonnaise contains 110 calories and 12 grams of fat, which is higher than the same amount of chocolate.

Experts also pointed out that in order to cater to consumer tastes, most salad dressings on the market use a large amount of cooking oil, resulting in more and more calories contained in them. In 100 grams of salad dressing, the calories often account for more than 1/4 of the entire nutritional content. If you add 3-4 tablespoons of salad dressing to a vegetable salad, the calories will exceed 300 kcal, which is equivalent to the calories contained in a meatloaf. Excessive intake of calories and fat will undoubtedly lead to obesity, high cholesterol, diabetes and heart disease.
