Ingredient score breakdown
Refined semolina
+1.1
Stripped of bran and germ, refined wheat behaves like simple sugar, spiking glucose and promoting inflammatory AGE formation.
Gluten proteins
+0.5
Concentrated gluten without protective fiber can increase intestinal permeability and systemic inflammation.
Low fiber content
+0.4
Lack of fiber allows rapid glucose absorption and fails to support beneficial gut bacteria.
Iron fortification
-1.0
