Ingredient Decoder

High Risk Additives

High Fructose Corn Syrup

An industrial liquid sweetener made from corn starch. It is chemically different from table sugar and is strongly linked to the obesity epidemic, fatty liver disease, and insulin resistance.

Corn Syrup

A liquid sweetener consisting of essentially pure glucose. It causes rapid spikes in blood sugar levels, contributing to energy crashes and long-term metabolic issues.

Potassium Bromate

An oxidizing agent used to strengthen bread dough. It is a known carcinogen and is banned in the EU, Canada, and China, but still legal in the US.

Azodicarbonamide (ADA)

The infamous 'Yoga Mat Chemical' used to bleach flour and condition dough. When baked, it can form urethane, a carcinogen. Banned in Europe and Australia.

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.

DATEM

Diacetyl Tartaric Acid Esters of Monoglycerides. A dough conditioner used to strengthen bread structure. Usually derived from GMO soy or palm oil.
