MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment

Clinical Narrative

This product contains 4 MRT-tested substances: honey, cane sugar (as ‘sugar’), maple sugar (as ‘maple syrup’), and corn (as ‘corn syrup’). The presence of ‘natural flavor’ further complicates the safety profile as it may harbor additional reactive chemicals or foods. With four identified triggers, this product is considered high risk and is generally excluded until the maintenance phase of the LEAP protocol under practitioner guidance.

Understanding These Triggers

🍯
Honey

Honey is tested as a distinct substance on the MRT panel. It contains proteins that can trigger mediator release independently of its sugar content. Found in many "natural" sweetened products.

🍬
Cane Sugar

Cane sugar sensitivity is specific to sugarcane-derived sweeteners and is distinct from glucose intolerance. Look for it in ingredient lists as sucrose, cane juice, or turbinado sugar.

🌽
Corn

Corn derivatives are among the hardest triggers to avoid. Found as corn syrup, cornstarch, modified food starch, dextrose, maltodextrin, and citric acid in thousands of processed products.

What This Means For Your Diet

With 4 identified triggers, this product has a high concentration of MRT-tested substances. The probability that at least one of these triggers is reactive on your personal panel is statistically significant.

This product is not recommended during Phase 1 (Elimination) or Phase 2 (Reintroduction). It may only be considered during Phase 3 (Maintenance) after your Certified LEAP Therapist has confirmed that all 4 substances scored Green on your individual MRT results.

Products with 3 or more MRT panel triggers require individualized evaluation. Do not attempt to self-assess — your CLT has the clinical training to weigh multiple reactive substances and potential cross-reactivity.
