FREE PDF: The Worst Ingredient Hiding In Your Foods 👉 https://drbrg.co/3UcFAVD

now I have a question would you buy this product if I added maltodextrin to it chances are you probably wouldn’t okay I’m going to teach you a scientific simple quick test you can apply to any food or supplement to determine if there is hidden starches okay like maltodextrin by simply adding a little iodine check this out all right I’m going to show an experiment this test is to determine if there are carbohydrates in your supplements or even your food okay and primarily I’m going to focus on maltodextrin because that’s a hidden carb which is really a sugar in a lot of supplements especially in flavors now it works like this all you need is some iodine okay if you combine iodine with a starch it turns the color blue now if we take just normal water okay I’m just going to take water we just take a drop or two of iodine in just regular water tap water okay you can see it doesn’t turn blue stays kind of golden yellow okay but if we take some iodine on some wonderful bread you can see it will turn it blue okay that’s the chemical reaction that occurs which I’m not going to get into why but it just does that now if we take pure maltodextrin for example and put it in some water right here okay mix it up put a couple drops of iodine in it you can see the color blue or purple okay that’s pure maltodextrin now let’s take this other electrolyte powder which is a competitor’s brand which has a very similar formula to mine like a copycat formula they state that this is without sugar or maltodextrin okay cool okay so let’s add a scoop of that and a couple drops of iodine let’s see if it has maltodextrin in there whoa turns purple blue apparently it does all right now let’s take my electrolyte powder let’s see if it has any maltodextrin in there or or carbs starches I mean okay mix it here let’s put a couple drops of iodine in there hmm no purple no mocha dextrin in fact let’s put some even more iodine in there see if it eventually turns it purple and the answer is no it stays yellow gold and you can try this with anything okay so you just need some iodine and you can add it to the the food or put in some liquid if there’s a powder and you can detect hidden maltodextrin and other starches in your supplements and food is I went ahead and did the iodine tests on every single one of my products and I also learned something new about this iodine test or starch test and that is this iodine will also react against chlorophyll and so if a product has chlorophyll like a wheatgrass juice powder or cruciferous or a leafy green because of the pigment chlorophyll in interacting with iodine it will turn the substance a little bit Brown not purple but Brown we also learned that if a product has inulin okay it can also alter the color so I just wanted to bring that up because it’s not just maltodextrin or other starches that can turn things different color all right so now that you know how to determine if there are hidden starches in your your products that you buy let’s talk a little bit more about these hidden starches and the main starch that is put in so many of these products is maltodextrin it’s a nearly 4 billion dollar industry where are they putting all this maltodextrin in well they use it as a bulking agent a thickening agent a carrier for various things like flavorings they use it to add certain texture they use it to increase shelf life they promote it as being plant-based and something that’s very very inexpensive one metric ton of this stuff is like only 520 dollars so if a manufacturing company wants to use it to add something as a filler maybe add some texture they’re only spending pennies okay so the profit can go very very high there’s some other sneaky added benefits to a company that you should know about number one maltodextrin can be classified on the label as a carbohydrate but not as a sugar despite behaving like a sugar I mean on the glycemic index you have table sugar 65. glucose 100. maltodextrin is between 105 and 185 I mean when that stuff hits your bloodstream you are majorly spiking your blood sugars and majorly increasing insulin and what’s Wild is there’s a loophole that allows you to classify it as a carbohydrate and not as a sugar in fact and also when maltodextrin is 0. 5 grams per serving size they don’t have to list maltodextrin on the label and it’s usually made from corn but it’s also made from wheat rice potato but many of the supplements that you are probably taking right now have it in there as a hidden ingredient for various reasons one as a kind of a carrier or a conversion of liquid flavoring to powdered flavoring in fact it was very very difficult for me to find a flavoring company that did not use maltodextrin and unfortunately many of these supplement companies out there are developed and formulated by marketers who don’t really care about the quality but you have flavorings you have supplements you have energy gels uh that are used for long distance Runners that actually even have in the label like sugar-free but it’s just filled with hidden sugars as carbohydrates they’re even going after the baby formulas yeah baby formula loaded with maltodextrin and definitely uh the sport products uh in muscle building powders energy drinks Etc but unfortunately a lot of people don’t know about this it’s that little dirty secret that if people found out they wouldn’t buy a product that has this very very high glycemic index sugar in it if you’re going to exercise right and you’re going to take a sports drink or sports gel would it help have that be candy or sugar does that improve your performance really no it’s going to spike your blood sugars and it’s going to come down and you’re going to get tired not to mention so many of the keto products right they’re supposed to be keto friendly they’re not very keto friendly and this could definitely be one reason uh why people might try keto with some of these products unknowingly not able to get into keto because of the amount of hidden maltodextrin and then maybe say well keto didn’t work let me go on to the next diet so I just wanted to create this video to teach you a tool that you can use using simple iodine and since we’re on the topic of maltodextrin if you haven’t seen this video you definitely need to check it out I put it up right here
