#lousylabels

*zoom-in on the label* We’re declaring war on #lousylabels here at ‘and nothing else’. Every week we #zoomin on one lousy ingredient and give you the full lowdown on what it is. This week it’s SCF. Or Soluble Corn Fibre. Which is the same as Maltodextrin. Which we broke down in detail, last week. Basically, another ingredient used by the food industry to replace sugar - so that they get to claim ‘No Sugar’ or ‘Reduced Sugar’...or in this case ‘30% less sugar’ The bigger problem with SCF, is the word ‘Fibre’. Which will make you feel that it’s something ‘natural’. When it is anything but! SCF starts as corn syrup, which is already chemically processed (and for all you know, the source might be GMO corn). The corn syrup is heated, then broken down even further through a process called enzymatic hydrolysis. Enzymes break down the syrup into a non-digestible, low-sugar fiber, which is then filtered several times into a tasteless white powder. That’s SCF. If you’re trying to reduce sugar, you might still chose to have it. All we ask is that brands declare these ingredients upfront - and let consumers make an informed choice. And nothing else. #solublecornfibre #sugarfree #sugaralcohol #foodlies #nosugar #cleanlabel #nutritionlabel #ingredients #nochemicals #100%natural #30%lesssugar #andnothingelse (at Mandapam) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8cyCnmhU_7xM5dyvotxnsU7b8JPmqY4Q3qIhU0/?igshid=1rv0coorjqval
