E460 is a food additive known as microcrystalline cellulose. It is often used in the food industry as a thickener, stabilizer, and texture enhancer.
Microcrystalline cellulose is a non-starch polysaccharide that does not increase blood glucose levels. It is calorie-free and not absorbed by the body, so it does not affect insulin levels.
Microcrystalline cellulose has the ability to bind water and improve the consistency of products, making it useful for creating low-carbohydrate products on a keto diet.
However, it is important to remember that excess microcrystalline cellulose can cause digestive issues, as it can be difficult for the human body to process.
Microcrystalline cellulose is commonly found in various products, such as low-carb crackers, keto bars, baking supplements, and other products where texture or structure improvement is needed without adding extra carbohydrates.
