Moderate Caution
Maltodextrin
A highly processed white powder from corn or wheat. It has a higher Glycemic Index than table sugar (spiking insulin rapidly) and can suppress good gut bacteria.
Canola Oil
A highly processed industrial oil extracted using hexane solvents, bleached, and deodorized. High in Omega-6s which can promote inflammation if not balanced with Omega-3s.
Autolyzed Yeast
Yeast cells that have broken themselves down. Another common label for hidden MSG used to boost savory flavor.
Sunflower Oil
Often perceived as healthy, but high-oleic versions are better. Standard sunflower oil is very high in inflammatory Omega-6s.
