Some of the most unhealthy foods don’t contain any sugar! Maltodextrin is in 60% of our foods, and most people don’t even know it’s there. Although maltodextrin spikes your blood sugar significantly more than sugar and glucose, it’s not classified as a sugar; it’s classified as a complex carbohydrate.

Maltodextrin is found in infant formula, protein powder, and weight gain shakes. Maltodextrin and other industrial starches, such as cornstarch and modified food starch, are used as fillers to add bulk to a product.

Not only does maltodextrin contribute to blood sugar issues, weight gain, and a fatty liver, but it also does the following:

• Destroys the gut lining

• Supports the colonization of Salmonella and other pathogens

• Depletes vitamin B1

Avoid this carbohydrate!
