- Sea Saltsearch for term
- Sea Salt – Sun-Dried and washed free of impurities, sea salt is a crystalline seasoning, which is evaporated from seawater.
- Sodiumsearch for term
- Also known as Salt. Regulates body fluid volume, transports amino acids to cells and plays a role in muscle contraction and nerve transmission. Sodium is an important mineral found in our bones, in the fluids surrounding our cells and in the cardiovascular system. Sodium, with potassium, assists nerve stimulation and regulated water balance. It is also involved in carbohydrate absorption. The average person requires a minimum of one tenth of a teaspoon of salt a day. Any athlete who sweats needs more. A teaspoon a day of salt does not cause problems, nor does eating fresh foods high in natural salt such as fish, carrots, beets and poultry. Eating processed and junk foods, can lead to high, potentially dangerous levels of sodium intake.
- Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate search for term
- SSL is created by combining lactic acid and stearic acid and then reacting the product with sodium hydroxide. SSL has several desirable functions and properties. It keeps the starch from changing in the finished product, thus inhibiting staling. It makes the gluten stronger, it desperses fat in the bread, making the dough softer and easier to work with, and has a slightly sweet taste.
- Soy Proteinsearch for term
- Primary vegetable source of protein found in protein powders; lower in nitrogen retention and BCAA's than whey and egg, but higher in arginine and glutamine and contains isoflavones with antioxidant properties.
- Speltsearch for term

- Steviosidesearch for term
- An artificial sweetener. Extracted from the herb Stevia. It is 300 times sweeter than sugar, but has a strong aftertaste.
- Sucralosesearch for term
- An artificial sweetener. Approved by the FDA in 1998. It is 600 times sweeter than table sugar, it is is made from a process that begins with regular sugar. You can bake with it. Sucralose was discovered in 1976. Sucrolose is derived from sugar through a patented, multi-step process that selectively substitutes three chlorine atoms for three hydrogen oxygen groups on the sugar molecule. The tightly bound chlorine atoms create a molecular structure that is exceptionally stable and is approx 600 times sweeter than sugar. The body does not recognize it as sugar or another carbohydrate. The sucralose molecule passes through the body unchanged, it is not metabolized and is eliminated after consumption. Sucrolose has no calories. The acceptable daily intake for sucralose is 5 mg / kg of body weight per day.
- Sugar Alcoholssearch for term
- This group of sweeteners includes Maltitol, Sorbitol and Xylitol. Although found in fruit, they are commercially synthesized and not extracted from natural sources. Sugar alcohols provide a reduced glycemic response (no steep hikes in blood sugar). Sugar alcohols are absorbed slowly, but incompletely. This can cause diarrhea in some people.
