Flagged concerns

artificial flavors

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.

Maltodextrin

Ultra-processed starch derivative; very high glycemic index; may disrupt gut bacteria.

cellulose gum

Synthetic emulsifier; animal studies link it to microbiome disruption and inflammation.

sucralose

May alter gut microbiome; studies show possible DNA damage at high doses.
