Ingredient Decoder

Moderate Caution

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.

Sodium Phosphate

Used in processed meats and cheese to maintain moisture. High intake is dangerous for people with kidney issues and can weaken bones by leaching calcium.

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.

Canola Oil

A highly processed industrial oil extracted using hexane solvents, bleached, and deodorized. High in Omega-6s which can promote inflammation if not balanced with Omega-3s.

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.
