Vitamin K Levels: Fats, Oils & Dressings
The amounts listed in these tables are certainly more than would be
recommended for a particular meal. For instance, it is unlikely that
you would eat 10 rice cakes at a sitting. The amount listed is a guide
to an amount that you could eat in a particular
day and get a consistent
level of vitamin K.
Please note that there are items on this list that I don’t
feel have any place in a healthy diet. I try
not to tell people that they cannot eat what
they want – this is
your choice. That said, doughnuts, for instance,
have little to redeem them. They are a combination
of flour, sugar and lard that has been deep fried.
It's your choice to eat them and I provide the
information on vitamin K content for you—but
you would be better off without them (especially
three of them!).

* Mayonnaise is labeled as medium because it is often made with canola
or soybean oil. Mayonnaise made with other oils
will be lower in Vitamin K.
