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.
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.
Erythritol
A popular sugar alcohol. While generally keto-friendly, recent 2023 studies have associated high blood levels of erythritol with an increased risk of blood clotting and stroke.
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.
Inulin (Chicory Root)
A prebiotic fiber added to 'healthy' snacks. While natural, processed inulin can cause severe gas and digestive distress in sensitive individuals.
Sunflower Oil
Often perceived as healthy, but high-oleic versions are better. Standard sunflower oil is very high in inflammatory Omega-6s.
Fractionated Palm Kernel Oil
A highly processed derivative of palm oil, containing even higher concentrations of saturated fats. Deforestation concerns remain.
Brown Rice Syrup
A sweetener often touted as healthy, but has a very high glycemic index and often contains traces of arsenic.
