  • Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate – controversial · Chemical leavening agent that may interfere with mineral absorption and has potential digestive effects.
  • Cheddar Cheese – beneficial · Real cheese provides protein, calcium, and beneficial fats, though quality depends on sourcing.
  • Maltodextrin – controversial · Highly processed starch that spikes blood sugar more than table sugar and may disrupt gut bacteria.
  • Canola Oil – controversial · Highly processed seed oil high in omega-6 fatty acids that promotes inflammation when consumed regularly.
  • Modified Corn Starch – controversial · Chemically altered starch used as thickener, often from GMO corn with potential digestive impacts.
  • Corn Syrup Solids – dangerous · Concentrated corn sugar that rapidly spikes blood glucose and contributes to metabolic dysfunction.
  • Sodium Nitrite – dangerous · Preservative in bacon that forms nitrosamines when cooked, compounds linked to increased colorectal cancer risk.
  • Soybean Oil – dangerous · Heavily processed industrial oil high in inflammatory omega-6 fats, often from GMO soybeans.
  • Sodium Aluminum Phosphate – dangerous · Contains aluminum which accumulates in tissues and has been linked to neurological concerns and bone health issues.
  • Mono- & Diglycerides – controversial · Emulsifiers that may contain trans fats and can disrupt gut barrier function with regular consumption.
  • Disodium Inosinate – safe · Flavor enhancer derived from meat or fish, generally recognized as safe with no significant health concerns.
  • Xanthan Gum – safe · Natural thickener produced by bacterial fermentation, generally well-tolerated though may cause digestive upset in sensitive individuals.
