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.

Phosphoric Acid

The acid that gives cola its tang. High intake is strongly linked to lower bone density and kidney stones.

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.

CMC (Cellulose Gum)

A thickener and emulsifier. Recent research indicates it might alter healthy gut bacteria and promote intestinal inflammation similar to Polysorbate 80.

Canola Oil

A highly processed industrial oil extracted using hexane solvents, bleached, and deodorized. High in Omega-6s which can promote inflammation if not balanced with Omega-3s.

DATEM

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

Enriched Flour

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