High Risk Additives

Sodium Metabisulfite

A sulfite preservative used in dried fruits and wines. It releases sulfur dioxide gas which can cause severe respiratory reactions in asthmatics.

Moderate Caution

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.

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.

Autolyzed Yeast

Yeast cells that have broken themselves down. Another common label for hidden MSG used to boost savory flavor.
