It is safe to eat a full jar of real bacon bits mixed with sour cream?
Question:This is my sisters favorite food. I think it can make her sick. So let's hear it people.
Answers:
While eating that much fatty food at one sitting may cause some tummy upset there is noting "poisonous" about either Sour Cream, Bacon Bits or the combination thereof.
It's not exactly health food either. Nutrition information for a 3 oz jar of Oscar Meyer Real Bacon Bits:
http://www.coheso.com/nutridata/index.ph...
"Only" 300 calories and 18 grams of fat. 2640mg of Sodium though - more than a whole day's recommended allowance.
Add the pint of Sour Cream:
http://www.coheso.com/nutridata/index.ph...
It's not looking to healthy - 984 Calories, 96 grams of fat 244 mg Sodium.
Totals for the batch of Bacon Dip?
1284 Calories 64% Daily Value
116 grams Total Fat 178%
66 grams Saturated Fat 330%
262 mg Cholesterol 87%
3085 mg Sodium 129%
Basically - No, eating a whole batch of bacon dip is not toxic, you won't be poisioned by it. BUT - It's not good for you either. Years of eating batches of bacon dip can lead to obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease and all kinds of bad things.
So, provided she eats healthy the rest of the time if your sister wants to indulge in a bowl of bacon dip once in a while it probably won't hurt her. Just don't make a habit of it.
i dont see why it would cuz its cooked and you can eat sour cream cold
OUcH, I feel a tummy ache coming on! That's way too much dairy and preservative laden food (the baco bits) but if that's what she likes, let her find out on her own, it won't give her food poisoning it'll give her the runs at most then she'll shy away from them...maybe lol
I guess it could be, like anything else, too much of a good thing can cause problems. Maybe just 1/2 a jar!!lol!!
As long as she's not having any sort of stomach aches or other ill effects there's nothing wrong with it except the exceptionally large amount of fat calories being taken in. One cup of sour cream is almost 500 calories 74% of that is fat. A Jar of bacon bits is around 300 calories. It's probably no worse than someone eating a whole bag of potato chips.
