"Maltodextrin" - what's it all about?

So today . . . let's talk about one of the "biggest" dangers to our health . . .

And that would be . . . "MALTODEXTRIN"!!!

So what is "maltodextrin" you ask???

Well . . . it's actually considered a . . . "natural" element . . . because it "does" come from the food we grow . . .

BUT . . . it's manufactured from "GMO" corn, potatoes, rice and wheat . . . which are all "HIGHLY" processed.

And right there . . . we have a problem!!!

You see . . . this "element" is used as a filler, preservative and/or thickener in food and beverages.

And guess what???

The FDA also has other "hidden" name for this additive like . . . corn syrup solids, modified corn starch, modified rice starch and modified wheat starch.

Now . . . "maltodextrin" is used as a thickener or filler to "increase" the volume of a processed food . . . and as a preservative that "increases" the "shelf-life" of that packaged food.

And . . . the reason it's so widely used . . . is due to it being "inexpensive" and easy to produce . . .

Manufacturers use it to thicken products like . . .

Instant puddings and gelatins

Sauces

Salad dressings

Pastas

Cooked cereals like oatmeal

Rice

Meat substitutes

Baked goods

Frozen meals

Soups

Energy and sports drinks

Soft drinks

And artificial sweeteners

It's even in some of our lotions and haircare products.

So, in a nutshell . . . why is "maltodextrin" so bad for us???

Well . . . it's made into a "SUGAR" substance . . . that is "high" in "glycemic index" . . . which in turn . . . will "SPIKES" blood sugar levels!!!

So tomorrow . . . we'll continue.
