High Risk Additives

High Fructose Corn Syrup

An industrial liquid sweetener made from corn starch. It is chemically different from table sugar and is strongly linked to the obesity epidemic, fatty liver disease, and insulin resistance.

Corn Syrup

A liquid sweetener consisting of essentially pure glucose. It causes rapid spikes in blood sugar levels, contributing to energy crashes and long-term metabolic issues.

Azodicarbonamide (ADA)

The infamous 'Yoga Mat Chemical' used to bleach flour and condition dough. When baked, it can form urethane, a carcinogen. Banned in Europe and Australia.
