In this video, Dr. Berg talks about salad dressing and the challenges of finding a good one. You want to avoid soy oils, corn oil, canola oil, and cottonseed oil. I also want a dressing with the least sugar possible. The other point is the taste, as many dressings have too much water and not enough oil. You also want to balance your omega-6 oils with omega-3 oils.
Safflower, sunflower, and of course soy and corn are all omega 6, which are inflammatory. So you want to also balance it out with fish oils - cod liver is the best.

0 -> Hi guys. I had some more questions about
salad dressing. In this video, we're going
3.48 -> to discuss salad dressings in general.
Just kind of give you some ideas of what
6.81 -> I like, what I don't like. Combining
ingredients with taste. Ideally you would
12.09 -> want a salad dressing with oil and
vinegar, right? So yeah, balsamic vinegar.
16.98 -> You have apple cider vinegar right here.
You have extra-virgin olive oil right
22.98 -> here. There's even the avocado oil
which a lot of people are starting to
28.59 -> use now. But I just want to go through some
types of dressing and the problems that
32.579 -> you're going to run into.
Now Bragg's is a really good brand. The
36.51 -> challenge is that even though the
ingredients are good, it's too watered
40.59 -> down for me. What I like, when I put some
dressing on a salad,
44.37 -> I want more oil. So, it's mainly like
water so I really don't like this. Here's
50.489 -> another one.
Hawaiian, Bragg's Hawaiian. It's just like
54.629 -> a lot of water, there's hardly any oil in
here at all. So I don't really like those.
59.219 -> And the purpose of the oil on the
dressing is to also extract some of the
63.93 -> nutrients, the phytonutrients, especially
the carotenoids. Those are like the
69.27 -> Vitamin A family of phytonutrients. So
here's one right here.
73.74 -> This one right here and the problem is
the first ingredient is soybean oil. So
80.13 -> it's going to be GMO. Here's one here. It's a raspberry sugar-free dressing. The
85.049 -> first thing is when you consume this,
it's very watery it doesn't really taste
89.549 -> that great. There's no soy in here but
there's sucralose and I don't like that
94.35 -> type of sugar. Okay, so here's one right
here. This is a really good one right
101.159 -> here. It's called Buttermilk Ranch
dressing and this one has hormone-free
110.189 -> buttermilk, non-GMO sunflower oil. It has
sea salt, onion, garlic, water, vinegar, eggs.
117.329 -> I mean it's really healthy. It just
doesn't have any taste. So good stuff, not
124.229 -> good taste. Now this one right here,
cilantro lime. Now this one has sunflower
131.489 -> oil, organic
apple cider vinegar. The only thing it has,
136.319 -> it has all the good stuff but it just
has a little agave nectar. Now would I
140.43 -> consume this? Well, I want to look at the
sugars. Well it has less than one gram of
145.17 -> sugar, so they were probably using a very
small amount of agave and it's organic
149.04 -> so I think I would consume this because
it's very, very small. If it's less than
153.06 -> one gram, it's very tiny. So this would be
an okay dressing, but if you start seeing
158.159 -> that the sugar is very high, where
the first ingredient is sugar, stay away
162.629 -> from it. Alright now, we have the Stone
well Kitchen cilantro lime okay dressing.
169.92 -> Now there's, if you really have to start
reading these, because I bought this one.
174.54 -> This is an olive oil in balsamic
vinaigrette and I like the ingredients
179.549 -> because it's basically just pure olive
oil, balsamic vinegar, spices and garlic.
185.489 -> That's it.
This is awesome and I put in a little bit
187.859 -> of peanut butter, I shake it up and it
becomes thicker. So this is one I like
191.97 -> but then I bought another one, assuming
it was olive oil and the first oil was
196.62 -> canola.
So again, canola. If it's not, doesn't say
201.209 -> non-GMO, organic, it is GMO. So I don't
want to consume this. You really want to
208.799 -> balance out your oils. You want to have
omegas. If you have too much Omega-6, that
213.12 -> would be like safflower oil, sunflower
oil, any of the oils that are like, even
218.37 -> corn, soy, which we don't want to
recommend those. You want to balance out
223.44 -> the Omega-6 with the Omega-3. Now of
course, you're not going to put fish oil
227.669 -> in your salad dressing but you want to
consume more fish or consume fish oil or
232.229 -> chia seed oil or flax oil. Those are
Omega-3 fatty acids. I like the fish oils
239.36 -> the best. But chia, hemp, flax, is all
Omega-3, but it has a little bit of
242.879 -> Omega-6. And then, the other thing you
want to avoid, is you definitely want to
247.049 -> avoid all soy oil. Okay, it's contaminated
with you know, glyphosate, which is the
253.47 -> herbicide. Soy, you want to avoid corn
oils. It's in the vegetable oils. Stay
257.76 -> away from that, cottonseed oil and canola.
Those are GMO, unless it's organic.
263.43 -> Alright? Well thanks for watching. I put a
couple
266.01 -> links down below of some amazing recipes
on how to make your own dressing. Alright,
271.05 -> talk to you later.
