Key ingredient of Oreo cookies • Base cake dough • High fructose corn syrup • Dutch cocoa (processed with alkali) • Pure chocolate liquor • Wheat flour • Niacin • Reduced iron • Thiamin mononitrate [vitamin B1] • Riboflavin [vitamin B2] • Folic acid • Partially hydrogenated soybean oil • Baking soda • Cornstarch • Salt • Soy lecithin (emulsifier) • Vanillin - an artificial flavor
Substitutes for High fructose corn syrup • High fructose corn syrup • Contains 55 percent sucrose, which requires insulin to metabolize. • It has very high glycemic index Source: http://www.evitamins.com/healthnotes.asp?ContentID=1841005
