Ingredient Decoder

High Risk Additives

BHA (Butylated Hydroxyanisole)

A waxy solid preservative used to prevent fats from going rancid. The National Toxicology Program classifies it as 'reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen'.

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.

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.

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.

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.
