Ingredient Decoder

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.

Moderate Caution

Soybean Oil

A ubiquitous vegetable oil high in Omega-6 fatty acids. Excessive consumption of Omega-6s without balancing Omega-3s can promote systemic inflammation in the body.

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.

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.

Enriched Flour

Refined flour with synthetic vitamins added back in. Acts like pure sugar in the body, spiking insulin.
