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
cellulose gum
Synthetic emulsifier; animal studies link it to microbiome disruption and inflammation.
polysorbate 60
Synthetic emulsifier; similar gut microbiome disruption concerns as polysorbate 80
Sugar
High glycemic index; promotes inflammation and metabolic disease.
