Ingredient Decoder

High Risk Additives

Hydrogenated Oil

The primary source of artificial Trans Fats. These fats are notorious for raising bad cholesterol (LDL), lowering good cholesterol (HDL), and increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Mono- and Diglycerides

Emulsifiers that can contain small amounts of trans fats, but loophole laws allow foods containing them to be labeled '0g Trans Fat'.

Moderate Caution

Palm Oil

A vegetable fat high in saturated fatty acids. Its massive production is a primary driver of deforestation, endangering species like orangutans. Refined palm oil may also contain harmful contaminants.

Soybean Oil

A ubiquitous vegetable oil high in Omega-6 fatty acids. Excessive consumption of Omega-6s without balancing Omega-3s can promote systemic inflammation in the body.

Artificial Flavor

A mixture of chemicals synthesized in a lab to mimic natural tastes. Manufacturers are not required to disclose the specific ingredients used in these proprietary blends.

Dextrose

A simple sugar chemically identical to glucose. It absorbs instantly into the bloodstream, causing rapid energy spikes and crashes. Often used as a filler.

Sodium Propionate

A mold inhibitor used in bakery products. Linked to metabolic disruption and insulin resistance in recent mouse studies.

Karaya Gum

Tree sap used as a thickener and laxative. Can cause allergic reactions.

Health Integrity Analysis

Is donettes Frosted truly good for you, or is it just clever marketing? We analyzed the nutritional density, ingredient safety, and processing levels using the CakeID Algorithm. With a calculated health score of 10/100, here is the deep dive into what you are actually eating.

⚠️ Additive Watch: Critical Flags

The ingredient list reveals the presence of Hydrogenated Oil. The primary source of artificial Trans Fats. These fats are notorious for raising bad cholesterol (LDL), lowering good cholesterol (HDL), and increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke. For health-conscious consumers, this is a significant red flag that lowered the product's overall score.

The Sugar Reality Check

This product contains 31g of sugar per 100g. To put that into perspective, that's equivalent to eating roughly 8 sugar cubes directly. While it might taste great, such a high glycemic load can lead to rapid insulin spikes followed by energy crashes.

Final Verdict

Taking into account the macro-nutrient balance, additive risks, and caloric density, donettes Frosted achieves a CakeID Score of 10/100.

Treat Only: Due to the low score, we recommend enjoying this only as an occasional treat rather than a dietary staple.

Health Recommendations

Sugar Spike

High sugar may cause energy crashes.
