Did you know studies show: The average American consumes ranch dressing 38 times a year. Seems like most American's find Ranch dressing goes with everything. However, Ranch dressing can be very detrimental to your health if you don't choose wisely. There are a lot of calories in most ranch dressings, as well as fat, sodium, and added sugar. So not all Ranch dressings are created equal. Ranch is only healthy if ingredients used to make it are also healthy. The good news is you don't have to give up creamy ranch. you just have to be more discerning when reading labels, and looking for dressing with no or very little added sugar, low saturated fat, and low sodium. Knowledge is power.
