Ingredient Decoder

High Risk Additives

Sodium Benzoate

A preservative used in acidic foods like soda and pickles. When mixed with Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), it can form Benzene, a known human carcinogen.

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.

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.

Disodium Guanylate

Flavor enhancer (E627) often used with MSG. Dangerous for people with gout or kidney stones as it metabolizes into uric acid.
