Is HEB Light Buttermilk Ranch Dressing Keto?

Too Much Carbs!

Contains High-Glycemic Sweeteners

Contains Soybean Oil

Soybean Oil is a highly refined oil that is prone to oxidation and may cause inflammation in the body.

Highly refined oils are usually extracted using high heat and chemicals. This process strips out the nutrients from the oil and replaces them with harmful chemicals.
