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

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.

Soy Protein Isolate

A highly processed protein. The extraction process often uses hexane (a neurotoxin). It also contains high levels of phytoestrogens.

Sunflower Oil

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