Cellulose and the Lactose Free Diet
Cellulose is a complex carbohydrate and a major component of plant cell walls, making it the most abundant organic compound on Earth. In the food industry, cellulose is often used as a stabilizer, thickener, or a source of dietary fiber due to its natural ability to hold water and provide structure. It is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA, but may sometimes be derived from corn, which is a consideration for those with corn allergies or sensitivities.
