Ingredients & minerals

Corn syrup

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

Corn Syrup Solids

High glycemic load, contributes to excessive sugar intake, linked to insulin resistance and metabolic disorders

Bromated Enriched Bleached Wheat Flour

Potential carcinogen due to bromate, possible residual chemical ingestion, allergic reactions to wheat/gluten

Cottonseed Oil

High omega-6 fatty acid content, oxidative instability, potential pesticide residue, hexane extraction processing, moderate ingestion toxicity risk as dietary fat

Yellow 5

Irritant/sensitizer potential, allergy and hypersensitivity reactions including urticaria and asthma, possible behavioral effects in sensitive children, regulatory limits on use concentration

Red 40

Potential allergenicity, hypersensitivity reactions, hyperactivity concerns in children, regulatory restrictions in some countries

High Fructose Corn Syrup

Metabolic effects including insulin resistance, contribution to obesity and related disorders with excessive intake

Hydrogenated Tallow

Increased risk of cardiovascular disease with excessive intake, high in saturated fats, not suitable for vegans or vegetarians

Polysorbate 60

Potential for mild skin and eye irritation, possible gastrointestinal discomfort with excessive ingestion, concerns about contaminant impurities in poorly purified batches

Soy Lecithin

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

Natural and Artificial Flavors

Lack of transparency, potential presence of solvents and allergens, ultra-processed ingredient, no nutritional value

Folic acid

Potential masking of vitamin B12 deficiency at high doses, possible excessive intake concerns

Mono and Diglycerides

Potential source of trans fats if partially hydrogenated, typically low irritation risk, may contain trace contaminants depending on processing

Disodium Phosphate

Excessive intake may contribute to elevated phosphate levels affecting kidney function, possible irritation at high concentrations

Cellulose gum

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

Xanthan Gum

Mild gastrointestinal discomfort at high intake, potential for allergic reactions in sensitive individuals
