I figure it comes from corn kernals and it's all natural... Or is that just wishful thinking? Any thoughts?? "Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels (:"

Corn Is Not a Vegetable Smart Fuel: Palm Oil Quote: "There's no doubt that the Atkins diet will lower your cholesterol, weight and blood pressure and get rid of your diabetes, but then what?" asked Dr. Robert Rosati, the cardiologist who runs The Rice Diet Program Clinic, granddaddy of Durham's diet centers. I guess there's really no pleasing some people. (Source: http://bit.ly/ekORk0)

I found a good one. All natural, gluten free, no butter, no sugars ...but it does have sunflower oil. I love it as an occasional snack with raw almonds. My biggest concern was ...is it a grain? My suspicion was it is....and so my seeking out, i found the answer......bummer. : (

Its not actually a naturally occuring plant. In Paleolithic times there was no such this as corn. Corn was genetically modified and created by breeding a grain and a grass.

Salad dressing

Your best bet is to make your own if you can. I haven't been able to find a store bought one without a bunch of sugar and additives, but maybe someone else has.
