I am another retraction...
Another salad...another story... Last time I mentioned this, I was pissed because 3 times now, I have asked for Vinaigrette dressing for my weekly salad and all 3 times they gave me frickin Italian...not that I hate that dressing, but I wanted something else. So today, after my lunch workout, I went to pick up my salad from McD's. I order the usual, a grilled chicken bacon ranch salad. What kind of dressing? Vinaigrette of course. So I go to the first window, pay my $4.35(Dude salads are expensive, considering that it is a meal composed of leaves, fruits and veggies...oh and in my case, some bacon and chicken.) and proceed to the 2nd window. After the girl gives me my salad, I look into the bag, to make SURE I got my vinaigrette. Of course they got it wrong...this time I got ranch. Check out what ensued:
me: I'm sorry you guys got the wrong dressing. I said I wanted Vinaigrette
lady Oh, we dont' have Vinaigrette. We don't carry that dressing
me Really? (With a raised eyebrow) Well what do you have?
lady Ranch, Italian, and some other one I can't really pronounce...balsa....something.
me Oh, balsamic? (Me thinking um, balsamic, as in baslamic VINAIGRETTE?!?!) Okay, I'll just take that one
lady Okay (goes back and gets the dressing). Thank you, have a nice day.
me (looking at the dressing making sure it's balsa...something) Ummm...thanks.
HA HA HA
Yet another retraction to make. My Health Factoid of the Day from last week talked about the dehydrating effect caffeine had on the body...I stand corrected...yet again. Seems to be the theme of the day.
Will drinking a caffeinated soft drink make someone dehydrated? Recently the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies of Sciences (IOM/NAS) issued new recommendations for fluid intake (including fluid from all beverages and foods). The commonly held belief was that moderately active people should drink at least eight (8 oz.) glasses of water a day and that caffeinated and alcoholic beverages were dehydrating.
Now, after careful review of all the research related to hydration, including several important new studies, the IOM/NAS has concluded that all beverages and foods contribute to hydration, including caffeinated and alcoholic beverages.
