Ingredient Decoder

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).

Moderate Caution

Carrageenan

A thickening agent derived from red seaweed. While natural, it has been linked to gastrointestinal inflammation, bloating, and may worsen symptoms of IBS.

Polysorbate 80

An emulsifier used in ice cream to keep it creamy. Studies suggest it may disrupt the protective mucus layer of the gut, potentially leading to leaky gut and inflammation.

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.
