Key ingredient of Oreo cookies • Base cake dough • High fructose corn syrup • Dutch cocoa (processed with alkali) • Pure chocolate liquor • Wheat flour • Niacin • Reduced iron • Thiamin mononitrate [vitamin B1] • Riboflavin [vitamin B2] • Folic acid • Partially hydrogenated soybean oil • Baking soda • Cornstarch • Salt • Soy lecithin (emulsifier) • Vanillin - an artificial flavor
Substitutes for High fructose corn syrup • High fructose corn syrup • Contains 55 percent sucrose, which requires insulin to metabolize. • It has very high glycemic index
Substitutes for wheat flour • Wheat flour • Powdery substance derived by grinding or mashing the whole wheat grain • White flour contains diabetes-causing contaminant alloxanSource
Mitigation - High fructose corn syrup • High fructose corn syrup • Increased consumption of high-fructose corn syrup resulting in depletion of chromium in the body, which is important in helping glucose pass from the bloodstream into the cells
Mitigation – Wheat flour • Wheat flour • Ingredients can be combined with regular wheat four mitigating its adverse effects by lowering glycemic index and slowing digestion
