Maltodextrin, soy - why don't we use them?

Some substances contained in food may be harmful to us. The problem is that many such substances are present in many food products that we reach for every day. These include, among others: maltodextrin and soy.

Maltodextrin

Maltodextrin is a multi -cauer that is a product of enzymatic starch breakdown. It consists mainly of glucose molecules. This substance dissolves well in the water and easily mixed with fat to form a gel. It is often added to food products to give them the desired texture.

Maltodextrin can be found, among others in instant products (soups, sauces, jelly, pudding), in ice cream, sweets, "light" food, sausages, baby food or athletes. Although maltodextrin has no clearly sweet taste, it is a very caloric substance and has a high glycemic index (105 IG), which is why people suffering from diabetes, insulin resistance and trying to lose unnecessary kilograms, should avoid it (1).

Soy

Soy is currently a controversial food product. As a cheap and public product, it is often used for plant diets. There are numerous reports with soy health properties (source of protein and healthy fatty acids), and on the other hand, many studies indicate its undesirable effects and the fact that not every person can consume it.

Studies at Harvard University in Boston indicate that the consumption of soy products (e.g. tofu) by men reduces their fertility. Soy contains numerous anti -nutritional substances, which in turn can lead to the formation of, among others: flatulence, allergies and allergies. Tioglycosides present in soy products have a harmful effect on thyroid work. Scientific reports indicate that people who consume soy in large quantities are exposed to the appearance of thyroid will and hypothyroidism (3).

Keeping full health and maintaining the optimal figure can be difficult by consuming substances such as maltodextrin and soy. SuperSonic Food Powder Plus does not contain any of these food products, making it a great solution for people on a reduction diet and practicing physical activity. Supersonic Food is a complete meal in the form of a power that will work for people struggling with allergies and thyroid disease.
