The other 50% includes sugar, corn derivatives, leavening agents (a substance used in doughs and batters that causes a foaming action which softens and lightens the product) and other synthetic ingredients.
Check out these scary chemicals (ahem - ingredients) you'll also find in there:
- dimethylpolysiloxane - an anti-foaming agent made of silicone. You will also find this in silly putty (a kind of play-dough like stuff for us Aussies)...
- tertiary butylhydroquinone - a chemical preservative that is documented as 'harmful if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Skin, eye and respiratory irritant'
