Also Contains
Emulsifiers & Thickeners
- Cellulose Gum
Cellulose-based thickeners: cellulose gum (carboxymethylcellulose) and cellulose gel (microcrystalline cellulose), often used together in shakes. A randomised controlled feeding trial of carboxymethylcellulose in healthy adults found it altered gut bacteria and reduced the protective mucus layer of the gut. The trial was small and short.
Chassaing et al., Gastroenterology (2022) - Carrageenan
A seaweed extract used to stop drinks separating. Animal and cell studies report inflammation and irritation of the gut lining. Human evidence at the levels used in food is limited, and regulators currently consider it safe.
Tobacman, Environmental Health Perspectives (2001)
Sweeteners
- Sucralose
Synthetic zero-calorie sweeteners such as sucralose, acesulfame potassium and aspartame. Regulators consider them safe at typical intakes, but the WHO advises against using non-sugar sweeteners for weight control, finding no long-term benefit, and in 2023 classified aspartame as possibly carcinogenic while leaving its acceptable daily intake unchanged.
