Ingredients

Phase 1 structure page. This becomes a searchable database as the Ingredient Library is built out, and powers the future Scan tool.

What’s In Your Food?

An alphabetical, searchable library — one page per ingredient, so you can understand exactly what you’re consuming and why.

How each ingredient will be explained

  • What is it?
  • Why is it used?
  • Where is it commonly found?
  • What does the research say?
  • What should you know?
  • Inner Path Assessment — 🟢 better/generally low concern · 🟡 context matters · 🔴 minimize where evidence and exposure justify concern
  • Better alternatives
  • Sources

Starting categories

Sweeteners · Preservatives · Colors · Flavors · Emulsifiers · Stabilizers · Thickeners · Oils · Sugars · Artificial Sweeteners · Flavor Enhancers · Foaming Agents · Personal-Care Ingredients · Household Ingredients.

Individual ingredient pages will be added progressively, using the traffic-light approach: what it is, why it’s used, and a fair, evidence-based assessment — not a scare list.
