E494 is a food additive, also known as acrylamide. It is widely used in the food industry as a stabilizer and thickener.
E494 can disrupt the process of ketosis and slow down weight loss. Additionally, some studies link the consumption of acrylamide to an increased risk of cancer.
Products where E494 is most commonly found include cookies, bread, potato chips, fried potatoes, and other products that have undergone high-temperature processing.
Therefore, when following a keto diet, it is recommended to carefully read product labels and avoid those containing E494.
