    In this video, Dr. Berg talks about what is maltodextrin and if it is safe. It is from rice, wheat, and potato, but mainly from corn, which is a GMO and is exposed to glyphosate.
    Maltodextrin is the highest in the glycemic index which means it is creating a massive spike in your blood sugar when you consume it and it also changes the gut bacteria, suppresses the probiotics with the good friendly bacteria, and also increases e coli.
    Purpose of Maltodextrin:
    1. Carrier
    2. Thickener
    3. Filler
    4. Preservative
    5. Insecticide
    6. Improves Mouth Feel
    Foods that have Maltodextrin:
    • Infant Formula
    • Beverages
    • Animal Feeds
    • Beef Jerky
    • Vitamins
    • Flavorings
    • Medicine
    • Chips
    • Soups
    • Dry Mixes
    • Dressing
    • Peanut Butter
    • Beer
    • Pudding

    I'm glad someone is finally calling out the use of this additive. It is in nearly everything we consume, that goes through any type of processing. Even supplements, and especially most items bought in the supermarket. Maltdextrin causes me to breakout in horrible boil-like acne. I have an tolerance, for sure. It also causes inflammation, as does Caramel Color, and Carragneegan. Watch out for those too.

Now, after studying your YT videos, Instagram, FB, etc I acknowledge that I misunderstood many of its true ! In short period of time I have been applying “the true keto” in combination with fasting, sleep much better, I eat considerably less, my mood is uplifted, and I feel powerful when exercising! Just to mention some of the advantages , because the list of benefits is long! And what’s is impressive, it’s just the beginning! Thanks Dr. Berg.

I know because I'm allergic to potatoes and kept being ill until I saw some ingredients of Yogurt coated raisins. It said, Maltodextrin (Tapioca and potato)!! I keep clear of all maltodextrin as you just never know whats in it. (Apart from in the UK, Waitrose own produce, they very often specify!) Its also very often in sausages and cooked meats too. generally the cheaper the food, the more likely it is to include Maltodextrin, it holds water so makes things weigh more!

      More people have adverse reactions to Stevia than realized. It might be "natural' but it messes with our gut and brain in negative ways. Soy reactions are off the chart, but people still think it's safe to consume as a food - but it is not. Please do some research on Stevia, it's not as good as it is touted.

    My dad, being diabetic, has recently had higher than normal sugar levels. Upon looking at the sweetener we have, it contains maltodextrin so I've got them looking into an alternative. Myself, I use honey in coffee & tea as I won't even use sweeteners myself. Everything I buy, I check the ingredients to see if it or dextrose is included. 😊 99% of the time, I put back and avoid. But occasionally, I will have those chicken tikka satay skewers as they're damn nice. 😊

    I've been trying to reduce my sugar intake and curb my insulin resistence. So I opt for natural sweeteners like stevia, inulin or monk fruit.

I was so pissed off at the company for such fakeness!

  • @ItsLoriK

    Even more prevalent is "natural flavorings" as an ingredient which is usually multiple ingredients of all kinds of stuff. It's bs & should be illegal to not list every individual ingredient. Even then you should also consider how each was processed. For example, not all stevia or decaf coffee is made the same. It seems practically impossible to eat cleanly & even more so, humanely.
