Manufacturers use multiple names and small amounts from several sources to make labels look less alarming — while keeping the product appealing.

This isn’t a conspiracy — it’s marketing strategy plus labeling rules that allow it.

It drives cravings and energy crashes
It complicates gut health and inflammation
It makes people feel like they’re “doing everything right” — but not feeling great
