Flagged concerns
high fructose corn syrup
Linked to obesity, diabetes, fatty liver disease; often contains mercury from chlor-alkali processing.
soybean oil
High in omega-6; promotes inflammation; usually GMO; highly processed; industrial seed oil.
mono & 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
food starch-modified
Ultra-processed starch derivative; very high glycemic index; may disrupt gut bacteria.
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.
enriched wheat flour bleached
Stripped of nutrients; high glycemic; bleaching may leave chemical residue.
polysorbate 60
Synthetic emulsifier; similar gut microbiome disruption concerns as polysorbate 80
Sugar
High glycemic index; promotes inflammation and metabolic disease.
