Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC)Human RCT showed CMC alters the microbiome and encroaches the gut mucus layer.high
Artificial FlavorsSynthetic flavor mixture, undisclosed composition.medium
Canola/Rapeseed OilRefined seed oil; oxidation products form in processing and frying.medium
Corn/Glucose SyrupRefined glucose polymer; pure glycemic load with zero nutrition.medium
Glutamates (listed)Any listed glutamate salt; free-glutamate axis.medium
MaltodextrinGlycemic index above glucose; animal work links it to mucus-layer thinning and E. coli adherence.medium
MethylcelluloseModified cellulose; emulsifier-class microbiome questions remain open.medium
MSGSafe for most, but free-glutamate symptom complex is documented at high doses in sensitive people; marks heavily engineered flavor.medium
Natural FlavorsUndisclosed proprietary mixtures — dozens of solvents/carriers allowed under one label; opacity is the issue.medium
Refined/Enriched FlourStripped endosperm starch with synthetic vitamins added back; high-glycemic base of most UPF.medium
