I warned you about this ingredient in Hidden Valley Ranch...

If you're buying Hidden Valley Ranch, gluten-free baking mixes, almond milk, Starbucks Frappuccinos, Quest bars, or bottled salad dressing...

I need to warn you about an ingredient hiding inside many of them.

It's called xanthan gum....

For years the food industry has told us it’s safe…

But a brand new study found that rats regularly fed xanthan gum developed colon inflammation, changes in gut bacteria, and damage to the gut lining.

Researchers said the xanthan gum opened the intestinal barrier, triggering an "inflammatory cascade".

This ingredient is made from GMO corn and added to thousands of packaged foods on the shelf.

The industry tells you it's "just a gum" to make products thicker and creamier.

It isn't there to benefit your health. It's there to make processed food cheaper and easier to manufacture.

If it's capable of triggering inflammation, why should it be in our food at all?

The best way to avoid xanthan gum is simple.

Flip over the package and read the ingredient list.

You may be shocked how often it shows up.

If someone you love might be buying products with xanthan gum, please share this with them on Instagram, Facebook, or X

Xo,
