Why Keto Bricks DON'T Contain These 7 Most Common Ingredients!!!

There’s a myth that prepackaged foods and shelf-stable goods can’t be healthy. And that’s because reading the ingredients labels on most of them feels like a chemistry lesson. 

From added sugars, sugar alcohols, and artificial sweeteners to fillers, bulking agents, and harmful seed oils, these highly-processed and chemically-derived ingredients hide in even the healthiest-seeming options.

None of them actually fuel better performance or optimal health. So let’s talk about why you should avoid these:

7 Common Ingredients In Prepackaged Foods You WON’T Find In A Keto Brick

Every ingredient you eat should pull its weight and contribute to your health and wellness goals. The ingredients in this roundup fail on both fronts:

1. Added Sugar and Natural Sweeteners

While avoiding “sugar” on an ingredients label is easy, this villain goes by 56 other names. You’ll probably recognize the classics like sucrose, fructose, glucose, and high fructose corn syrup. But then there’s:

• Foods that are a mix of fructose and glucose, like agave nectar, honey, coconut sugar, maple syrup, molasses, turbinado, sorghum syrup, invert sugar, fruit juice concentrate, carob syrup, beet sugar, and 30+ others.
• Ingredients that combine glucose, galactose, or other sugars, such as barley malt, brown rice syrup, dextrin, dextrose, lactose, maltodextrin, maltose, and eight other offenders.

High sugar consumption is linked with weight gain, obesity, cardiovascular disease, fatty liver disease, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and more.[*] But reducing your sugar intake with a keto diet could prevent or reverse these conditions.[*][*]

2. Artificial Sweeteners

Food manufacturers began synthesizing chemicals into intensely sweet substances as more people got wise to sugar’s dark side. These artificial sweeteners are cheap flavor enhancers commonly found in sugar-free and “diet” foods:

Artificial sweeteners may also cause overeating and weight gain.[*] Worse? People who regularly consume artificial sweeteners (especially aspartame) have a higher risk of overall cancer.[*]

3. Sugar Alcohols

Sugar alcohols are both super popular and highly polarizing in the low-carb and keto world. Because they’re not entirely absorbed in the digestive system (like fiber), many people subtract them from their total daily carbs. Others believe they definitely count.

Sugar alcohols are a carbohydrate that occurs naturally in certain fruits and vegetables (and can also be produced through industrial processes). They’re neither sugar nor alcohol in the traditional sense but hybrids containing both types of molecules. 

The most common sugar alcohols include xylitol, erythritol, sorbitol, mannitol, maltitol, isomalt, and lactitol. Sugar alcohols are most infamous for causing digestive discomfort (bloating, gas, pain, and diarrhea).[*]

4. Allulose

The new darling of keto products, allulose is sometimes referred to as a “rare sugar” because it occurs in nature in tiny quantities (in figs, raisins, and maple syrup, for example). However, most of today’s commercial allulose production is derived from the fructose found in corn.

Our bodies do not fully metabolize allulose; it’s absorbed but eliminated largely unchanged. So low-carbers like to subtract it from their total carbs like fiber.

However, allulose side effects include severe nausea, abdominal pain, headache, and diarrhea.[*] It may also cause the growth of potentially harmful gut bacteria.[*]

5. Soluble Fibers

Soluble fibers dissolve in water and break down into a gel-like substance during digestion. They typically help bulk, retain moisture, and add a smooth, creamy texture and mouthfeel to packaged foods. It sometimes also adds sweetness. Since they behave like fiber, many people subtract them from their total carbs.

Soluble corn fiber is derived from corn starch. Up to 92% of corn in the US is genetically engineered, meaning it’s very likely doused in potentially cancer-causing herbicides and pesticides.[*] 

Researchers are still investigating the effects of GMO food consumption yet have already noticed higher risks of mortality, cancer, infertility, organ abnormalities, and decreased learning and reaction abilities.[*]

Chicory root fiber (also known as inulin) may contribute to excess gas, bloating, and diarrhea but seems to help many people with constipation.[*] 

6. Soy Protein

Soy protein is derived from soybeans. Over 95% of soybeans in the US are genetically modified, making them a high-risk food.[*] Combining this fact with the highly processed nature of soy protein makes it easy to see why studies have connected it with adverse effects like hormonal disturbances, cancer, and organ toxicity.[*]

7. Inflammatory Seed Oils 

Seed oils are ultra-processed oils extracted from the seeds of plants using solvents similar to gasoline. They’re cheap to produce yet have an unhealthy ratio of omega-6 fatty acids, which makes them incredibly inflammatory. 

Having too much omega-6 in your diet may promote weight gain, cardiovascular disease, cancer, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), rheumatoid arthritis, and Alzheimer's.[*][*]

The most commonly added seed oils in packaged goods include soybean, sunflower, canola, corn, sesame, palm oil, and palm kernel oil.

Keto Brick Redefines the Prepackaged Goods Game

Keto Bricks are shelf-stable, gluten-free, prepackaged performance bars that break the mold because they don’t contain any of the ingredients we just spotlighted. They’re a high-quality upgrade to streamline macro-tracking and meal prep while taking the guesswork out of on-the-go snacking.

The top-tier ingredients in each Keto Brick include:

• Year-round grass-fed and pastured whey protein. Our whey comes from cows that have not received hormones, antibiotics, steroids, or vaccines. It’s also processed using cold-water microfiltration technologies to retain the bioactive protein subfractions and reduce denaturation as much as possible.
• Superior-quality plant protein. No soy here! We use a pea and organic brown rice protein to cover the amino acid spectrum and a digestive enzyme to boost absorption and bioavailability. 

We produce Keto Bricks in-house with complete quality control and ZERO compromises. Whether you use the Bricks as a meal replacement or portion them out to add more healthy fats and protein as needed, you’ll always feel confident in our nutritional profile.

🚀 Fuel your greatness with Keto Brick. With zero crap and nine bold flavors, our Bricks empower elevated performance, goal-conquering, and gain-seizing. Grab six Keto Bricks and save 20% now!
