Ingredients & minerals

Corn syrup

High glycemic index, excessive caloric intake associated with weight gain and insulin resistance

Soybean oil

High omega-6 content leading to oxidative instability, excessive dietary intake associated with weight gain and metabolic risk, potential presence of residues from hexane extraction

Hydrogenated Cottonseed Oil

High in saturated and trans fats due to hydrogenation, ingestion toxicity linked to cardiovascular risk, oxidative instability if not fully hydrogenated, potential pesticide residues from cotton cultivation

Vegetable Oils (Soybean and/or Canola)

High omega-6 fatty acid content, oxidative instability, possible hexane solvent residuals from processing, potential allergenicity from soy residue, endocrine disruption concerns from soy constituents

TBHQ (Preservative)

Potential irritant, possible toxicity at high doses, concerns about carcinogenicity in animal studies, regulatory limits on use

Wheat Gluten

Allergenic potential, gluten intolerance, celiac disease trigger

Soy Lecithin

Potential estrogenic effects, hexane solvent residuals from processing, allergenicity concerns, ultra-processed ingredient

Natural & Artificial Flavors

Lack of transparency, possible presence of undisclosed solvents or preservatives, ultra-processing, potential allergen or irritant, variable composition

Potassium Sorbate (food grade preservative)

Irritation and sensitization potential, possible endocrine disruption (BHT, TBHQ), contamination risk from processing byproducts, regulatory limits on TBHQ levels

Cellulose gum

None at typical consumption levels, possible mild gastrointestinal discomfort in sensitive individuals

Propylene Glycol

Irritation to skin and eyes in sensitive individuals, potential allergic sensitization, ingestion toxicity rare but possible in large amounts
