It feels so nice to be validated for something you've been saying for years. I came across The Sandwich Ingredient You Need to Stop Using NOW while reading random Yahoo! articles today. Here are the key points:
My role at the Cleveland Clinic provides me the opportunity to analyze food records from patients. Of the hundreds I review, I find several threads. One common food that I see a lot of is the use of mayonnaise on sandwiches. I often say that if you actually knew what was in mayonnaise, you probably wouldn't eat it. With egg yolks, sugar and salt topping the ingredient list for most popular mayonnaise varieties, it's clearly not a choice that will make you more healthy and beautiful.
And here's a bonus!
Mustard-even the cheap yellow kind!-is one of the most beautiful spreads out there. Why? Because it's got lots of turmeric-a spice (main active ingredient, curcumin) that's been linked to everything from improving liver health, decreasing the risk of certain cancers and even helping as a treatment for tendonitis. Use mustard on turkey sandwiches or mixed into canned salmon or tuna for a yummy seafood salad option.
Ha! Take that!
