Balsamic vinegar
“Creamy dressings often create a high sugar impact, but balsamic can contain just as much,” says JJ Virgin, celebrity nutritionist and author of JJ Virgin’s Sugar Impact Diet. The American balsamic vinegar is made with caramel coloring which is a sugary substance. Why? The authentic balsamic vinegar requires a 12- to 25-year aging process that negates the need for coloring and thickening additives, but not everyone wants to pay—or wait—for those products to be imported over.
