Maltodextrin is the WORST ingredient hiding in your food!
It’s a refined starchy carbohydrate made by artificially bonding a cluster of sugar molecules. It’s highly processed and typically used as a filler in a wide range of packaged and processed foods.
Manufacturers use maltodextrin as a sweetener without having to list it as sugar on nutrition labels, allowing them to claim that a food is sugar-free despite significantly impacting blood sugar levels.

(Tom: I think I would challenge the good doctor on this one as being the worst. If Aspartame blew holes in the brains of mice during trials I think that takes a lot of beating!)
