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.

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.

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.

Sesame

Recently added as the 9th Major Allergen in the US. Sesame is often hidden in 'natural flavors' or spice blends, making it dangerous for allergic individuals.

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.

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.

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.

DATEM

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

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.

Enriched Flour

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