“E472” is a food additive, also known as mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids emulsifier. It is used in regular food products to improve texture, stabilize the product, and extend its shelf life.
E472 can be found in various products such as baked goods, confectionery, dairy products, ready meals, and more.
From a keto diet perspective, it is important to understand that E472 may contain a small amount of carbohydrates, which can affect blood sugar levels.
Furthermore, some studies suggest that emulsifiers, like E472, may have a negative impact on the gut, causing inflammation and disruption of the microbiome.
