Embracing Transparency in Nutrition

In today’s health-conscious world, consumers are increasingly scrutinizing the ingredients in their food. The “clean label” movement has emerged as a response to this demand for transparency, advocating for products made with simple, recognizable ingredients. At Great bowl, we align with this philosophy of feminine systems, choosing to exclude gums, fillers, and unnecessary fortifications from our products.

What Is a Clean Label?

A “clean label” refers to food products that are made with as few ingredients as possible, all of which are easily recognizable and considered wholesome by consumers. This approach avoids artificial additives, synthetic chemicals, and complex ingredient names, aiming for transparency and simplicity in food labeling.

Why We Say No to Gums and Fillers

Gums and fillers, such as xanthan gum, carrageenan, and guar gum, are commonly used in processed foods to enhance texture and shelf life. However, these additives can pose health concerns:

• Digestive Issues: Some individuals may experience bloating, gas, or other gastrointestinal discomforts when consuming products containing these additives.
• Perceived Artificiality: Consumers are increasingly rejecting products with additives like carrageenan and xanthan gum due to their perceived artificiality and potential health implications.

By eliminating these substances, we aim to provide products that are not only healthier but also more aligned with our commitment to natural, whole-food ingredients.

The Truth About Fortified Foods

Fortification involves adding vitamins and minerals to foods, often to replace nutrients lost during processing or to address public health concerns. While fortification can have benefits, it also raises several issues:

• Overconsumption Risks: Excessive intake of certain fortified nutrients, like vitamin A or iron, can lead to toxicity and adverse health effects.
• Misleading Health Perceptions: The presence of added nutrients can give the illusion of a healthy product, even when the base food is highly processed and lacks nutritional value.

At Feminine Systems, we believe in obtaining nutrients from whole, unprocessed foods, ensuring better bioavailability and overall health benefits.
