Humectant and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet
Humectants are substances that attract and retain moisture, which is why they are commonly used in food products to maintain texture, moisture content, and extend shelf life. They can be found in many processed foods, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Common examples include glycerin, sorbitol, and propylene glycol. These compounds can be derived from natural sources such as plants or animals, or they can be synthesized chemically.
