Ingredient Decoder

High Risk Additives

Sodium Sulfite

A preservative used to prevent discoloration in dried foods. One of the top chemical allergens causing hives and breathing issues.

Phosphoric Acid

The acid that gives cola its tang. High intake is strongly linked to lower bone density and kidney stones.

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.

Carrageenan

A thickening agent derived from red seaweed. While natural, it has been linked to gastrointestinal inflammation, bloating, and may worsen symptoms of IBS.

Sodium Phosphate

Used in processed meats and cheese to maintain moisture. High intake is dangerous for people with kidney issues and can weaken bones by leaching calcium.

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.

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.

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.

Cottonseed Oil

Derived from cotton crops which are heavily sprayed with pesticides (since cotton is not a food crop). Often contains higher pesticide residues than other oils.

Bleached Flour

Flour treated with chemicals like benzoyl peroxide or chlorine gas to make it whiter. Stripped of nutrients.
