Just heard today it causes inflammation. I stay away, but its in lots of things that's for sure.0

Not the worst stuff ever, but certainly not beneficial at all either. I'm avoiding it. It was the main reason I finally kicked the coffee cream habit and fell in love with Bulletproof coffee. Thanks carrageenan, you were a blessing in disguise.0

It's a migraine trigger for our family.0

I have read that because of the inflammation, it makes your brain swell, and can contribute to Alzheimer's. SInce Alz runs in my family, i avoid it like the plague.

"The immune response leads to inflammation, which is a serious public health concern since chronic, low-grade inflammation is a well-known precursor to more serious diseases, including heart disease, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, diabetes and cancer," he adds.0 -
I avoid it. It's in most brands of almond milk, but I found that the Whole Foods brand is made without it, so I buy that now.0

It is one the compounds that is fed, in excess, to lab rats for medical testing. It is used to cause a significant amount of inflammation and then they maintain control (somehow) and use their test meds to counteract it.0

What I really resent is when it's used as a cheat, like to thicken heavy cream. It can be really hard to find heavy cream to put in my coffee that is just cream!0

I was so annoyed when I returned to Canada after living in E.U for years.I went to buy cream and there is that damn carrageenan,infesting my cream.What I really resent is when it's used as a cheat, like to thicken heavy cream. It can be really hard to find heavy cream to put in my coffee that is just cream!
The only luck I have had finding cream free of it is a liberte organic 35%.It's only on occasion that I can get it so for the most part,I don't bother0
