if you had to pick

the worst ingredient

on the planet

what would you pick i’m talking about an

ingredient that’s in a lot of foods not

some ban dangerous chemical but

some ingredient that is

very pervasive in our foods

what would you pick go ahead and type it

down in the comments section the

ingredient that i’m going to talk about

is much much higher on the glycemic

index

than glucose now what is the glycemic

index it is a scale that measures

how fast a carbohydrate

is absorbed and

spikes your blood sugar so at a hundred

you have glucose okay so that’s pretty

high right now glucose

is a monosaccharide okay it’s just one

sugar when you combine two different

sugars like glucose and fructose you get

sucrose that’s table sugar okay and

because fructose is lower on the

glycemic index it’s going to pull the

glycemic index down a bit to roughly

about 72. that’s a disaccharide now

saccharide means sugar and die means two

and then glucose is a monosaccharide

it’s just one sugar so the reason why

i’m talking about the disaccharide or

the monosaccharide is because this

ingredient is a polysaccharide which

means many different sugars that are

combined however this polysaccharide

is

a lot worse than glucose even though

it’s a polysaccharide so it is the

ingredient that is the highest on the

glycine mechanics i don’t know of any

other ingredient that’s higher than this

thing i’m going to tell you and that

ingredient is

maltodextrin okay now

maltodextrin doesn’t sound that bad like

malto well that sounds pretty natural

and dextrin it doesn’t end with os like

all the sugars end with like glucose

fructose

so dextrin it doesn’t sound like a sugar

but

maltodextrin

behaves like a sugar

but it’s not classified as a sugar so

here’s the problem when you read the

label okay if something has maltodextrin

in it it does not have to be classified

as a sugar okay it’s classified under

the total carbohydrates so this can be

very misleading because you don’t know

how much sugar that’s in that product so

somehow manufacturing companies

came up with this loophole because they

know a lot of people are against this

added sugar

and so even on their website certain

chemical companies that make

maltodextrin

actually use it as a marketing thing

this is what it said on one of their

websites many soft drinks and other

flavored beverages contain maltodextrin

in their formulas so they can have a

lowered amount of sugar on the

nutritional facts

label wow that is a great marketing

strategy so the problem with

maltodextrin is that it behaves like

sugar yet it’s not listed as sugar so

it’s in a lot of different foods and

you’re not being notified you’re not

being aware of how much sugar you’re

actually consuming now the reason why

maltodextrin is higher on the glycemic

index than glucose is because it has a

much faster absorption rate in your

stomach apparently the enzymes act on

this

man-made synthetic sugar-like

carbohydrate much faster than actual

glucose and so yes it is a man-made

synthetic sugar it’s made with high

heats it’s made with chemicals it’s made

with acids so it’s a highly processed

carbohydrate that is extremely

inexpensive you could get at a wholesale

cost

like

30 grams of bulk of dextrin

for less than a penny now you’re

probably thinking well

i don’t consume multiduction it’s not in

any of my foods well i’m just going to

list some of the foods that it’s in

it’s in

supplements okay big time it’s in even

the natural flavorings

i had to

really work hard to find a company

that flavored our some of our

nutritional products that did not

contain maltodextrin and unfortunately

those flavorings were a lot more

expensive than the ones that had the

maltodextrin when you buy herbal

formulas that are extracts like they’ll

say i don’t know ginkgo biloba or

turmeric and it says like ten to one or

five to one extract

usually they’re using multiduction as a

drying

agent to turn it into a powder even

stevia when they turn into a powder many

times it’s made with maltodextrin

so here you are trying to do low carb

when you’re getting a lot of

carbohydrate but of course it’s only

listed in the total carbohydrates not

the added sugars even powders that are

made from oil like nct oil and even like

certain fish oil powders okay now i have

a cod liver oil powder

that does not use maltodextrin it’s the

only one out there that doesn’t use it

and it took me a long time to find the

company that didn’t use the maltodextrin

performance gels so let’s say you’re

going to do a long distance marathon

okay and you need that little gel pack

to give you that carbohydrate energy to

keep going well the first ingredient

maltodextrin so is an athlete i don’t

think you want to take something

super high on the glycemic index to

start spiking your insulin then you have

the energy drinks okay the protein

powders the electrolyte powders many of

them have this added maltodextrin even

in the

vitamin forms as it forms like citrates

like potassium citrate or magnesium

citrate the infant formulas the infant

foods unfortunately have maltodextrin

the weight gain formulas a lot of times

the first ingredient is maltodextrin

but if you look at the label it’s low in

sugars it’s very high in carbohydrate

because they don’t have to lift it as

sugars beer has multiple dextrin thus

the beer belly animal feeds have

multiple dextrin many keto products have

this hidden maltodextrin

which by the way i’m going to be putting

a list on my website very very soon and

i’m working very quickly on this so you

can have a list

of what foods have multiple dextrin and

what foods do not because sometimes they

sneak it in there a great majority of

the diet products out there the diet

powders the diet

protein bars are loaded with malt

production many of the soups that you

consume

desserts have maltodextrin ice creams

cereals snack products and even

intravenous nutrition the ivs that

they’ll give people to rehydrate them

have multiple induction sauces

medications so maltodextrin is very

pervasive

in our food supply unfortunately it’s

used to give the it’s called the mouth

feel it gives a very smooth texture so

it makes it feel good in your mouth it’s

also used as a volume enhancer

as a filler just to increase the volume

like i said before they use it as a

spray to dry certain things both oils

and proteins and and even nutrition

unfortunately it’s been used as a fat

replacer

for certain diet foods because they want

it low fat right and so they can put

this in there because it actually gives

you the texture of fat

when it’s really a carbohydrate but now

they’re using maltodextrin

in a different form okay it’s called

resistant

maltodextrin it’s like a resistant

starch they change the chemistry

from this starch

to a fiber

however a lot of the research that has

been done on this

is been done from industry and i just

don’t trust the results right now it’s

kind of an experiment

there’s a big difference between

consuming

synthetic man-made fiber

and fiber from

vegetables like celery or salad so now

you’re going to see a lot of information

on these functional food fibers

that are now considered health foods and

they’re in a lot of keto foods as corn

fiber

tapioca fiber and they’re called

resistant maltodextrins so who knows if

they’re gmo or not or if they have

traces of chemicals and there’s not a

lot of information on the manufacturing

process personally i’m going to get my

fiber from actual vegetables and as i

was studying about this topic i found

maltodextrin is also classified as an

insecticide go figure and the other big

problem with mold production is it

depletes nutrition you see anytime you

have a carbohydrate or sugar and you

consume it without nutrients in order to

metabolize that carbohydrate it takes

nutrients b vitamins calcium potassium

things like that

and so when you’re consuming a lot of

refined carbohydrate it’s going to

deplete your reserve of nutrients so you

end up with less nutrition if you’re

consuming these carbohydrates and all

this boils down to a much greater spike

in insulin which is behind so many

health problems so personally i’m going

to stay away from maltodextrin it’s

really doing an experiment on people the

jury is still out on the resistance

starch time will tell

but it’s very difficult if not

impossible to find an independent study

to truly evaluate

the so-called health benefits of mold

production now if you have not seen my

video

on the glycemic index

and something called the glycemic load

i put that video up right here
