E493, or glyceryl monostearate, is a food additive widely used in the food industry as a stabilizer, emulsifier, and anti-foaming agent.
Glyceryl monostearate may contain carbohydrates that can disrupt the ketosis process.
However, it is worth noting that in moderate amounts, glyceryl monostearate is not a direct threat to health. Its use in products is usually safe for most people.
Nevertheless, excessive consumption of food products containing E493 may lead to some negative consequences, such as digestive disorders.
Glyceryl monostearate is most commonly found in various dairy products, confectionery, margarines, and liquid dairy substitutes.
