The fine print
Sugar: Plain added sugar, the honest villain. Counted by the gram in the Clean score.
Maltodextrin: A starch that legally isn’t ‘sugar’, so it never shows in the sugar line, yet has a glycemic index of 85–105, higher than table sugar. The classic ‘sugar-free’ loophole.
Sucralose: Zero-calorie artificial sweetener. Regulators rate it safe at normal intake; a 2023 lab study flagged a trace impurity (sucralose-6-acetate) as genotoxic in cells. Doses there were far above what a scoop delivers.
FSSAI: 15 g/100 g · 3.6 g/100 kcal, may legally print “HIGH PROTEIN” via the per-100 g route. The weight-gain classic, and an honest one: 25 g of sugar per 100 g, mostly to pile on calories. ‘Mass’, not muscle.
