Ingredients & minerals

Sunflower Oil

High omega-6 content, oxidative instability, potential contribution to unbalanced fatty acid intake

Canola Oil

High omega-6 fatty acid content leading to oxidative instability, potential for refining contaminants depending on processing, mild endocrine concerns due to processing residues in some cases

Non-dairy Creamer

Hexane or chemical extraction processing, hydrogenated oil (trans fats potential), artificial color associated with hypersensitivity and minor behavioral effects, milk protein allergen (sodium caseinate), added sugars

Acesulfame Potassium

Potential gastrointestinal discomfort at high doses, possible concerns over chronic toxicity though regulatory bodies consider it safe at typical use levels

Sucralose

Potential gut microbiota alteration, controversial safety profile in high doses
