emulsifier (E 471)
Emulsifier
Some emulsifiers can be problematic.
Caution
May cause symptoms in more sensitive people. Track your own reaction.
Emulsifiers are substances that help mix water and fat. Some of them, especially artificial ones, can cause reactions similar to histamine intolerance in sensitive individuals, even if they do not contain histamine itself. If you have sensitive digestion or have been diagnosed with HIT, your body may react negatively to emulsifiers because they weaken your natural defenses against histamine.
