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.

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.

Safflower Oil

Similar to sunflower oil. Industrial processing often involves high heat and chemical solvents.

Rice Bran Oil

Extracted from rice husks. Often contains high levels of arsenic depending on the rice source.
