Ingredient Decoder

Moderate Caution

Aspartame

One of the most controversial artificial sweeteners (found in Diet Coke). While deemed safe by major health orgs, some consumers report headaches, dizziness, and neurological sensitivity.

Carrageenan

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

Polysorbate 80

An emulsifier used in ice cream to keep it creamy. Studies suggest it may disrupt the protective mucus layer of the gut, potentially leading to leaky gut and inflammation.

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.

Polydextrose

A synthetic polymer of glucose used to add bulk to low-calorie foods. Can cause significant gas, bloating, and laxative effects.

Full Ingredients List:

Milk, condensed skim milk, water, polydextrose, sorbitol, milk protein concentrate, stabilizer (maltodextrin, whey, locust bean gum, cellulose gum, mono - and diglycerides, guar gum, starch, polysorbate 80, carrageenan), glycerine, whey protein concentrate, aspartame, vitamin A palmitate, natural and artificial vanilla flavor.
