@dr.austin.lake: Hidden Dangers in Girl Scout Cookies 🚨 Girl Scout cookies may be a nostalgic treat, but do you know what’s really in them? 👀 Many of these cookies contain harmful ingredients that can negatively impact your health. Let’s break it down: ❌ Inflammatory Seed Oils → Soybean oil, canola oil, palm oil – linked to inflammation & metabolic dysfunction. ❌ High-Fructose Corn Syrup & Refined Sugar → Can spike blood sugar, increase cravings, and disrupt gut health. ❌ Artificial Preservatives & Flavors → TBHQ, BHT, artificial vanillin – some studies link these to hormone disruption & toxicity. ❌ Enriched White Flour → Stripped of nutrients, causing blood sugar spikes & nutrient deficiencies. ❌ Emulsifiers & Thickeners → Soy lecithin, cornstarch, xanthan gum – potential gut irritants linked to leaky gut & digestive issues. ❌ Artificial Colors → Caramel color, Yellow 5, Red 40 – some studies suggest links to hyperactivity & behavioral issues. ❌ GMO Ingredients → Many cookies contain genetically modified soy, corn, and sugar, which can contribute to gut inflammation. More recently there are reports of heavy metals in the cookies as well, however this is still being investigated. 👉 The Bottom Line? While an occasional treat won’t destroy your health, these cookies are packed with ingredients that can harm your metabolism, gut, and overall well-being. @thefoodbabe you ready to tackle another industry for the sake of our children?
