I'm glad someone is finally calling out the use of this additive. It is in nearly everything we consume, that goes through any type of processing. Even supplements, and especially most items bought in the supermarket. Maltdextrin causes me to breakout in horrible boil-like acne. I have an tolerance, for sure. It also causes inflammation, as does Caramel Color, and Carragneegan. Watch out for those too.

Hi Guys, This isn't just made from Corn, it can be made from any starch including wheat and potato. I know because I'm allergic to potatoes and kept being ill until I saw some ingredients of Yogurt coated raisins. It said, Maltodextrin (Tapioca and potato)!! I keep clear of all maltodextrin as you just never know whats in it. (Apart from in the UK, Waitrose own produce, they very often specify!) Its also very often in sausages and cooked meats too. generally the cheaper the food, the more likely it is to include Maltodextrin, it holds water so makes things weigh more!

Even more prevalent is "natural flavorings" as an ingredient which is usually multiple ingredients of all kinds of stuff. It's bs & should be illegal to not list every individual ingredient.

In vitamins and medications , how do we solve that ?

[@foxiefair123]

Sometimes we can't.😥

[@Kipevolving]

I think the biggest thing is to avoid the bigger items like sweeteners, and per packaged foods that contain it . In my opinion the amount in pills and vitamins aren’t enough to effect you . I’m okay keto and I’m selective about the artificial sweeteners I use and I still take my prescription medicine and vitamins which is about 10 pills or more a day and the pounds are still dropping. 😊

[@amlesatchit3987]

I’ve always been slim and I don’t deal with sweeteners or packaged food , I grow my leafy greens , and here I think including detoxing foods like ginger ,cilantro , garlic , turmeric and the like would help !

[@tactics-mnk6084]

Buy bulk and make your own

[@tactics-mnk6084]

For vitamins that is😂

It seems to have helped me substantially with my GI issues.

[@christinerobinson890]

I found it in my cottage cheese! Seriously? Isn’t milk and culture enough?

[@Kipevolving]

You can make cottage cheese yourself. Also to answer your question it’s not enough because addictive make food cheaper to mass-produce , and easier to render the same product each time for example they can genetically modified food to always look , smell , and taste the same.

[@artbyadrienne6812]

Yep, I just finished off a carton of cottage cheese and saw the maltodextrin. I have been trying to eliminate all sugars this week and just got tricked by 4% cottage cheese.

[@jillnelson8746]

Wow such useful timely information-glad you are the warrior wonderful

[@emilyncozzens8309]

Thank you SO Much Dr. You're really awesome 👍. I'll take your advice very seriously, for the feeding of my family!

[@sophielarabie5258]

I just realized I was on keto and having this ingredient for a while without knowing.

[@theretrowizard8448]

Ok this is both funny and sad. Since companies know there is a market for Keto stuff I have been seeing more and more Item marketed as "Keto". well the other day I was at wal-mart and saw a "Keto" meal replace shake. Was think maybe it is like a Perfect Keto Meal. So I pick it up, and read the back ingredients, with in the first three ingredient had Maltodextrin. I just put it back on the shelf, laughed to myself and was thinking that is anything but Keto, it is just a cash grab.

[@hillarylewis1627]

I agree! How can a product call itself "Keto" with something that is as high on the glycemic index as Maltodextrin!?!

[@alfreedom3971]

I saw this as an ingredient in a bag of "Macs; salt and vinegar pork rinds." Decided to look it up. Thanks for the info Dr. Berg. Threw the bag away.

[@Kittyheavenwith21cats]

If I grow my own potoes and corn can I eat them again

It’s also a filler in paint ~a paint maker

There is one huge problem with Stevia. It comes in two forms, with the most popular by far being "Stevia in the Raw", which can be used teaspoon-for-teaspoon in coffee and cup-for-cup in recipes. PROBLEM: It is made up of only two ingredients; Maltodextrin, and Stevia extract. Thus, you have vast majority having a GI through the roof combined with a minuscule amount of the namesake having a GI of zero.

[@DieLuftwaffel]

Been using stevia to avoid sugar, but the carrier is maltodextrin! No wonder I've suddenly been gaining weight lately!

[@C...G...]

they put maltodextrin in baby formula!

[@kurtbecker3827]

Unbelievable... I wanted to avoid sugar and replaced it with Stevia. Then I just had a hunch and read the nutrition lable on the Stevia one more time and discovered "contains Maltodextrin and Stevia". What is the bloody point of replacing sugar with a substance which has an even higher glycemic number. In my old age, I come to realize, that indeed the food industry is trying to make me ill. Furthermore, I investigated the soluble fiber dietary label (like Metamusil). Even the "sugar free" version contains Maltodextrin... what is the bloody point of "feeding your gut bacteria" by providing soluble fiber and killing it off at the same time with Maltodextrin.

[@Jerry-Parker]

Excellent information ! Excellent video ! 5⭐

[@mekman4]

Great Stuff! I’ll keep my eyes open for it, moving forward.

[@curtisbarker5657]

Recently heard they tested 19 brands of beer for glyphosphate-roundup And found it in all the beer except for 1 did'not have it present

[@Churbitser]

Sure, but if you drink enough of the beer you won't notice it!

[@JesusIsGodsSelfie]

Which one ? Pray tell

[@tubeduck]

When I consume any foods containing maltodextrin I suffer a lengthy headache that starts within a couple of hours and can last 24 hours or more. Any tips Dr. Eric Berg apart from of course avoiding it - does this indicate other problems? Thanks

[@TheLiverpoolDelta]

This explains why my Keto Cookies tasted so good (and why it put on 2 KG in a month)

[@thatlovelydancerIlao]

I was about to get a lemon non gmo , organic powder but it had maltodextrin. Glad I looked it up and you were 1st on my youtube feed. Thank you Dr Berg

[@sl5820]

Wow! I just purchased supplements that I thought were good but I'm seeing this ingredient in a lot of their products 😭

[@dc-zk8th]

I just purhcased pure maltodextrin as a supplement. Like it.

[@chrisg1234fly]

ORGANIC TAPIOCA MALTODEXTRIN.......anyone one heard of this? Spent a fortune on some green powdery stuff and then saw this. According to the suppliers it has no GI effects and helps weightloss and in the amounts contained is fine. I cannot return it, so guess i will have to try and get some goodness out of it and ignore the badness till its gone😡🤬

[@nnr2dm243]

I suppose when fat is removed from food it needs sugar to make it taste nicer and if this stuff puts bad bacteria in the gut or allows the bad bacteria a foothold then that bacteria will require feeding and then we (a proportion of the mass population) goes back for more and so the cycle continues.

[@Riza-q7z]

I just don't know why some healthy superfood products such as Laird Coffee Creamer contained tapioca Maltodextrin in their products!!

[@wabisabi48]

Thanks for the info. For the past few months I have been watching the ingredients since weight loss is slow and I feel that even if the 'nasties' are small amounts if you take several supps it all adds up. Actually if I bought the 'best' it would cost about $500 per month. LOL Healthy diet is the best way. Organic whole foods.

[@ikwikwi]

Knowledge is a tool and a deadly weapon in the hands of a corrupt humanity bent on greed

[@alesiaw7048]

What about if it is labeled organic Maltodextrin? Thank you so much 😊

[@jbaggett2674]

What is the glycemic LOAD? Without knowing that, the GI is meaningless. How much do you have to consume to get the insulin spike?
