ACACIA GUM:
(also known as GUM ARABIC and GUAR GUM):

This natural ingredient is made from the hardened sap of the acacia tree; it helps stick stuff together and adds important fiber.

ASPARTAME:

This artificial sweetener that’s commonly used in diet soft drinks and chewing gum is 180 times sweeter than sugar.

BLEACHED FLOUR:

After it’s milled and bleached white with chemicals like chlorine, this baking flour loses many of its original whole-grain nutrients.

BUTYLATED HYDROXYANISOLE (BHA):

This chemical is added to foods to preserve fats and keep them from turning rancid.

BUTYLATED HYDROXYTOLUENE (BHT):

This chemical is used as a preservative in cereals and snack foods.
