Many people when they follow one diet they don't mind how many toppings they use for their dishes (what's a little bit of extra sauce?)
The toppings make the savory foods, they improve the taste, but can turn a healthy meal into a metabolic nightmare!
Small and frequent doses of harmful ingredients can be anything but healthy and can have a negative effect on the body.
There is scientific evidence that proves the harmful effects of dressings and sauces especially for chemicals that alter hormones.
here are the 5 most dangerous condiments for our diet:

Mayonnaise
La mayonnaise in jar that we buy at the supermarket is high in fat (nor good); is mainly composed of oil of soy GM, one of the most harmful foods that can be found in processed foods.
In addition, commercial mayonnaise contains high-content corn syrup fructose, which adds toxic load on our liver.
If you really can't give up this sauce, try making it at home; you will only need fresh egg yolks, olive oil, salt, lemon juice, all healthy ingredients!
Ketchup
Most ketchup in bottle that we find in the supermarket is mainly composed of overcooked tomatoes, water e cup sugar in the form of corn syrup. Just one tablespoon of commercial ketchup contains 4 grams of sugar!
You can make this sauce at home to avoid all these unpleasant dangerous ingredients; you just need fresh tomato sauce, onion, olive oil, vinegar and spices to taste.
Cheese sauce
Commercial cheese-based sauces, used to dress salads, meat dishes, French fries, etc., are rich in thickeners, dyes and monosodium glutamate, a flavor enhancer.
Regular consumption of monosodium glutamate can lead to: obesity, headache, fatigue, disorientation, rapid heart rate.
Sour cream
Just like mayonnaise, the commercial sour cream it can be a greedy addition to some dishes, but it is full of preservatives and thickeners.
You could try to create it at home with the culture of lacto-fermentation and starting from a fresh and organic cream, or you can replace it with some low-fat Greek yogurt.
Barbecue sauce
As for the other condiments already mentioned, the barbecue sauce for ours grilled meat, it contains a mix of ingredients that are dangerous for our body.
This sauce also lends itself very well to home preparation; you just need: tomato sauce, mustard, chillies, vinegar, brown sugar, oil, garlic and tabasco. Seeing is believing!
We have mentioned 5 of the most common sauces e dressing used as a condiment for dishes, but all commercial sauces contain very unhealthy ingredients.
Commercially prepared condiments are not real foods, but a blend of chemicals designed to taste good and induce cravings, but offer our bodies nothing in terms of nutrition.
With this we do not want to recommend giving up condiments, but to use your head! With wisdom and creativity you can create healthy and tasty sauces, much better than commercial ones.
If you make your dressings with high quality ingredients and eat them in reasonable portions, they can be an acceptable part of your nutrition plan.
