Is pectin bad for you?
No—pectin is generally recognized as safe and is a soluble dietary fiber; in large amounts it may cause gas or bloating and can reduce absorption of some medicines if taken at the same time.

Pectin is a complex carbohydrate polymer rich in galacturonic acid units, extracted from plant cell walls—commercially most often from citrus peels and apple pomace.
Is pectin vegan?
Yes; pectin is plant-derived and considered vegan, as it’s extracted from fruit byproducts.
What is pectin used for?
It’s used as a gelling agent in jams and jellies and as a thickener/stabilizer in desserts, confectionery, fruit preparations, and some juices or milk drinks, and it also contributes dietary fiber.
E457 girlsdoporn who?
E457 is alpha-cyclodextrin, a starch‑derived stabilizer/thickener used to encapsulate flavors and stabilize emulsions; it’s unrelated to that phrase.
What is so unique about alpha-cyclodextrine?
It’s a ring of six glucose units with a hydrophobic inner cavity and hydrophilic exterior that can ‘host’ lipophilic molecules, letting it stabilize flavors, mask odors, and control release; unlike many thickeners, it’s also a non‑digestible soluble fiber.
