Do you know about Glycerin?
Mar 28, 2023
Glycerin is becoming one of the most commonly added ingredients in many food products, especially liquid stevia.
Glycerin, also know as glycerol is a sugar alcohol that is made from animal or vegetable fat. It also can be produced synthetically. It is a colorless, odorless syrup that has a sweet taste.
Glycerin in food is classified by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a carbohydrate, and it has the same caloric density as sugar, although it has a less dramatic effect on blood sugar. Glycerin is nontoxic and generally regarded as safe for human consumption in small quantities.
Glycerin is widely used in the cosmetics and personal care industries for its moisturizing effects on skin and hair. It can be found in soap, toothpaste, mouthwash, hair products, lotion, shaving cream and more. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used as a laxative and, in the form of nitroglycerin, to relieve angina.
Many foods and beverages use glycerin as a solvent, sweetener and/or preservative. It helps thicken foods, control moisture and stabilize emulsions of oil and water. You can find glycerin in foods such as processed meats, soybean products, condensed milk, convenience foods, commercially baked goods, beverages, condiments and a range of other processed foods.
Other product applications include e-cigarette liquid, antifreeze, explosives, pressure gauges, stage fog and even fuel.
So, what's the big deal?
After years of clinical observation and experience, it became obvious that oil and glycerin-based cosmetic and personal hygiene products have an effect on slowing and stalling weight loss. The fat in these products is absorbed through the skin, and the body uses this fat as energy, rather than targeting excess body fat.
It's best to avoid glycerin in food and aim for oil-and-glycerin-free body care products.
