High Risk Additives
Titanium Dioxide
A whitening agent (E171) used in candies and pastries. It has been banned in the EU due to concerns that its nanoparticles could damage DNA (genotoxicity).
Peanut
One of the Top 9 Major Allergens. Peanut allergies are among the most severe and life-threatening, often requiring those affected to carry an EpiPen at all times.
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.
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.
Soy Protein Isolate
A highly processed protein. The extraction process often uses hexane (a neurotoxin). It also contains high levels of phytoestrogens.
Maltitol
A sugar alcohol with a high glycemic index (spikes blood sugar) compared to others, and causes significant laxative effects.
Sunflower Oil
