Cellulose gum comes from the cell walls of plants such as wood pulp and cottonseeds, is used to make foods thick and creamy, without all the fat. If you’re trying to reduce your fat intake or you’re on a low-fat diet, choosing foods made with an additive like cellulose gum can help to make you feel eating 'normal' food.
Cellulose gum may also help to supress the appetite. Because it works as a filler in foods, it has the potential to keep you feeling full.
