Generic refined seed-oil blend (often soybean/canola); high omega-6; heavily processed.
artificial flavor
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
cellulose gum
Synthetic emulsifier; animal studies link it to microbiome disruption and inflammation.
Sugar
High glycemic index; promotes inflammation and metabolic disease.
