E420, or sorbitol, is a food additive that is widely used in the food industry as a sweetener and preservative.
Sorbitol is a carbohydrate with a low glycemic index. However, it is important to remember that sorbitol still contains carbohydrates, so its consumption should be limited when following a keto diet.
Excessive consumption of sorbitol can cause food poisoning, diarrhea, and other gastrointestinal disorders, especially in people with sensitive digestive systems.
Sorbitol can be found in various products such as chewing gum, candies, jelly, sweet treats, some fruits, and even in some medications.
