It's keto because it's resistant maltodextrin not the regular maltodextrin
This review is to clear up a confusion that people on keto have thanks to the top review on here. I, like many others was disappointed in quest choice to use maltodextrin. So I decided to do an extensive research and turns out the review is a lie. These cookies are still keto friendly. The only bad thing is the fact that maltodextrin is from gmo corn...
Many people confuse resistant maltodextrin with maltodextrin — and for a good reason. Both ingredients are made from corn. But resistant maltodextrin bypasses the normal digestive process and instead ferments in the large intestine.
Maltodextrin, on the other hand, can be absorbed during digestion and may cause spikes in your blood sugar that could kick you out of ketosis[*].
Another distinct difference between the two is their viscosity. While soluble corn fiber (resistant maltodextrin) is non-viscous, maltodextrin is quite viscous and can be added to foods as a thickener[*].
