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.

Artificial Flavor

A mixture of chemicals synthesized in a lab to mimic natural tastes. Manufacturers are not required to disclose the specific ingredients used in these proprietary blends.

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.

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.

Acesulfame Potassium (Ace-K)

A calorie-free sweetener usually blended with Sucralose. Contains Methylene Chloride (a carcinogen) residues from manufacturing, though FDA deems levels safe.

Maltitol

A sugar alcohol with a high glycemic index (spikes blood sugar) compared to others, and causes significant laxative effects.

Neotame

An artificial sweetener 8,000x sweeter than sugar. Chemically related to aspartame but more stable. Long-term effects are less studied.
