Ingredient Decoder

High Risk Additives

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.

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.

Cottonseed Oil

Derived from cotton crops which are heavily sprayed with pesticides (since cotton is not a food crop). Often contains higher pesticide residues than other oils.

Diacetyl

A chemical used to give popcorn a buttery taste. Inhaling it causes 'popcorn lung' (irreversible lung damage), though eating it is currently considered safe by FDA.

L-Cysteine

A dough conditioner made from human hair or duck feathers. It speeds up industrial baking. It is an amino acid, but the source is... unappetizing.

DATEM

An emulsifier used to create a uniform crust in bread. Linked to heart muscle fibrosis in animal studies, though considered safe by FDA.

Bleached Flour

Flour treated with chemicals like benzoyl peroxide or chlorine gas to make it whiter. Stripped of nutrients.
