corn syrup
Pure glucose; spikes blood sugar; contributes to metabolic disorders.
mono - and diglycerides
Emulsifier; can contain trans fats not captured on the nutrition label; ultra-processed marker.
monoglycerides
Emulsifier; can contain trans fats not captured on the nutrition label; ultra-processed marker.
artificial flavors
Catch-all for synthetic flavor chemicals; regulatory threshold does not address cumulative exposure
dextrose
Isolated glucose from corn or wheat starch; high glycemic; rapid insulin spike
modified corn starch
Ultra-processed starch derivative; very high glycemic index; may disrupt gut bacteria.
caramel color
Ammonia-process caramel coloring; may contain 4-MEI; ultra-processed marker.
Unbleached enriched flour
Stripped of nutrients; high glycemic; bleaching may leave chemical residue.
polysorbate 60
Synthetic emulsifier; similar gut microbiome disruption concerns as polysorbate 80
