Generally safe, natural, or may offer health or flavor benefits in small amounts:
Water – Clean hydration base.
Tomato Paste – Source of lycopene (antioxidant), vitamins A & C.
Dried Garlic – Antimicrobial, supports immune health.
Dried Onion – Adds flavor, some antioxidant properties.
Paprika – Contains capsaicin and antioxidants.
Chile Powder – Anti-inflammatory compounds.
Chipotle Pepper – Smoked pepper, adds flavor and antioxidants.
Tamarind – Natural souring agent, contains polyphenols (antioxidants).
Spices – Often anti-inflammatory and antioxidant-rich.
⚠️ Neutral / Context-Dependent Ingredients
Safe in moderation but could be problematic in excess or for sensitive individuals:
Distilled Vinegar – Generally safe; acidic and can irritate some stomachs.
Salt – Essential but too much = blood pressure & stomach cancer risk.
Brown Sugar, Cane Sugar, Molasses – Better than HFCS but still added sugars; excess sugar = cancer risk, insulin resistance.
Corn Starch – Processed carb; no major harm, but low in nutrients.
Tapioca Dextrin – Processed carb; used as a thickener/filler. Low concern unless consumed frequently.
Guar Gum – Plant-based thickener; may cause bloating/gas in some.
Xanthan Gum – Fermented thickener; similar GI effects as guar gum.
❌ Bad / Concerning Ingredients
Heavily processed, may contain hidden risks, or promote inflammation:
Corn Syrup – Highly refined sugar; spikes insulin, may promote metabolic disease and cancer risk.
Natural Smoke Flavor – Can contain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are known carcinogens when isolated or concentrated.
Natural Flavors – Vague term that can include dozens of lab-made compounds. Lack of transparency and can include solvents or additives with toxicity concerns.
📋 Summary (Forum List Format)

Tomato paste, garlic, onion, paprika, chipotle pepper, chile powder, tamarind, spices – Flavorful and antioxidant-rich.

Corn syrup – High-glycemic, promotes fat storage and inflammation.

Natural flavors – Catch-all label, can hide questionable chemicals.
