Ingredient Decoder

Moderate Caution

Palm Oil

A vegetable fat high in saturated fatty acids. Its massive production is a primary driver of deforestation, endangering species like orangutans. Refined palm oil may also contain harmful contaminants.

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.

BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene)

Often paired with BHA in cereals and snacks. While safer than BHA, studies suggest it may disrupt hormones (endocrine disruptor) and impact thyroid health.

Sodium Phosphate

Used in processed meats and cheese to maintain moisture. High intake is dangerous for people with kidney issues and can weaken bones by leaching calcium.

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.

Caramel Color

The brown color in colas. Class III and IV caramel coloring contain 4-MEI, a chemical byproduct that is a possible human carcinogen.

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.

Autolyzed Yeast

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

Sunflower Oil

Often perceived as healthy, but high-oleic versions are better. Standard sunflower oil is very high in inflammatory Omega-6s.

Enriched Flour

Refined flour with synthetic vitamins added back in. Acts like pure sugar in the body, spiking insulin.
