Ingredient Decoder

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.

Benzoyl Peroxide

Used to bleach flour white (also used in acne cream). Destroys Vitamin E in the flour.
