Health Integrity Analysis

Is Multi Grain truly good for you, or is it just clever marketing? We analyzed the nutritional density, ingredient safety, and processing levels using the CakeID Algorithm. With a calculated health score of 65/100, here is the deep dive into what you are actually eating.

⚠️ Moderate Caution

While free from the most dangerous additives, we detected 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. It is generally safe in small amounts but worth noting for sensitive diets.

The Sugar Reality Check

This product contains 21g of sugar per 100g. To put that into perspective, that's equivalent to eating roughly 5 sugar cubes directly. While it might taste great, such a high glycemic load can lead to rapid insulin spikes followed by energy crashes.

Final Verdict

Taking into account the macro-nutrient balance, additive risks, and caloric density, Multi Grain achieves a CakeID Score of 65/100.

Consume in Moderation: It's not a health hazard, but it shouldn't be a staple in your daily diet due to its processing level or nutritional density.

Health Recommendations

Sugar Spike

High sugar may cause energy crashes.

Gut Health

Good fiber content.
