Today I learned about carrageenan. This substance is put in organic milk, milk replacements, sour cream, cheese, yogurt, ice creams, fake bacon, even lubricants. This substance is used so the product doesn't separate. Even though we could just stir it up or shake it and enjoy the product with out the harm. Carrageenan is derived from a seaweed ingredient used for better texture or "mouthfeel". Not only when the product is harvested does it ruin coral reefs which is animals habitats but it also creates dangerous inflammation a condition that serves as the backbone of more then 100 human of diseases including inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and arteriosclerosis. Inflammation also fuels other life threatening diseases, including cancer! There are many products that have this substance in them like most of the products produced by these brand but please read your labels.
