Do You Know Your Food Ingredients?

Ever scan a label and wonder what “natural flavors” actually means? We pull the curtain back on the most common ingredient traps—artificial colors like Red 40, excitotoxins such as MSG, refined sugars and corn syrup, seed oils, and thickening gums—and explain how they can nudge your body toward inflammation, headaches, and blood sugar swings. You’ll learn how to read packaging with a skeptic’s eye, spot vague wording, and choose products built from real, pronounceable ingredients.

We also share the swaps that make cleaner eating practical, not preachy. For sweetness, we talk through when coconut sugar, maple syrup, and honey make sense—and how to adjust recipes to avoid soggy results. For fats, we outline a simple trio that covers most cooking: extra-virgin olive oil for low heat and salads, ghee and coconut oil for sautéing and baking. We highlight why refined seed oils often work against your goals and how oxidation fuels chronic inflammation. Along the way, we touch on carrageenan and gums in plant milks and dressings, plus the case for heritage flours like unbleached einkorn to get great texture without additives.

This is a practical tour of the grocery aisle and your pantry, paired with a few kitchen stories—like building a better pumpkin pie by swapping dairy, ditching refined sugar, and keeping the ingredient list short. By the end, you’ll have a checklist you can use right away: avoid unnamed “natural flavors,” skip artificial colors, steer clear of corn syrup and questionable sweeteners, choose stable cooking fats, and favor whole foods with short labels.
