Flagged concerns
soybean oil
High in omega-6; promotes inflammation; usually GMO; highly processed; industrial seed oil.
mono - and diglycerides
Emulsifier; can contain trans fats not captured on the nutrition label; ultra-processed marker.
artificial flavor
Catch-all for synthetic flavor chemicals; regulatory threshold does not address cumulative exposure
acesulfame potassium
Limited safety data; may affect insulin response; animal studies showed tumor increases.
natural flavor
Vague term masking hundreds of possible compounds; may include MSG, beaver anal gland secretions, and other sources.
cellulose gum
Synthetic emulsifier; animal studies link it to microbiome disruption and inflammation.
carrageenan
Intestinal inflammation; may exacerbate IBS; degraded form is carcinogenic.
sucralose
May alter gut microbiome; studies show possible DNA damage at high doses.
sugar
High glycemic index; promotes inflammation and metabolic disease.
