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.
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.
Sunflower Oil
Often perceived as healthy, but high-oleic versions are better. Standard sunflower oil is very high in inflammatory Omega-6s.
