@robbiejmacneil: THE #1 CARB THAT'S WORSE THAN SUGAR It's not on the sugar line of the label. That's why it slips past you. Maltodextrin has a higher glycemic index than table sugar. Sugar sits around 65. Maltodextrin can run over 100. So a "no sugar added" product can spike you harder than a spoonful of sugar. Here's why it's everywhere. It's dirt cheap. It adds bulk, thickness, and shelf life. Costs the company almost nothing. So it gets packed into the foods you'd never suspect. Protein powders. Sugar-free snacks. Sauces. Soups. Seasoning blends. "Healthy" bars. And because it's a starch, not a sugar, the label can still brag "low sugar" on the front. Your body doesn't care what it's called. It breaks down to glucose fast, spikes you, then drops you into the crash, the cravings, and the fatigue an hour later. The fix is simple. Flip the package over. If you see maltodextrin, modified food starch, or modified cornstarch in the first few ingredients, put it back. Real food doesn't need a starch filler to hold it together. Which food are you shocked to find this in? Tell me below. #insulinresistance #bloodsugar #maltodextrin #metabolichealth
