Flagged concerns
canola oil
Industrial seed oil; very high omega-6; hexane-extracted and heavily refined; promotes inflammatory imbalance.
mono - and 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
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.
carrageenan
Intestinal inflammation; may exacerbate IBS; degraded form is carcinogenic.
vitamin a palmitate
May enhance tumor development when applied on skin exposed to UV; avoid in daytime SPF products.
sucralose
May alter gut microbiome; studies show possible DNA damage at high doses.
sugar
High glycemic index; promotes inflammation and metabolic disease.
