High Risk Additives
BHA (Butylated Hydroxyanisole)
A waxy solid preservative used to prevent fats from going rancid. The National Toxicology Program classifies it as 'reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen'.
Moderate Caution
Palm Oil
A vegetable fat high in saturated fatty acids. Its massive production is a primary driver of deforestation, endangering species like orangutans. Refined palm oil may also contain harmful contaminants.
Soybean Oil
A ubiquitous vegetable oil high in Omega-6 fatty acids. Excessive consumption of Omega-6s without balancing Omega-3s can promote systemic inflammation in the body.
BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene)
Often paired with BHA in cereals and snacks. While safer than BHA, studies suggest it may disrupt hormones (endocrine disruptor) and impact thyroid health.
Dextrose
A simple sugar chemically identical to glucose. It absorbs instantly into the bloodstream, causing rapid energy spikes and crashes. Often used as a filler.
Caramel Color
The brown color in colas. Class III and IV caramel coloring contain 4-MEI, a chemical byproduct that is a possible human carcinogen.
Diacetyl
A chemical used to give popcorn a buttery taste. Inhaling it causes 'popcorn lung' (irreversible lung damage), though eating it is currently considered safe by FDA.
DATEM
An emulsifier used to create a uniform crust in bread. Linked to heart muscle fibrosis in animal studies, though considered safe by FDA.
