Carrageenan is not necessary
The web page states “Some consumers find this thicker consistency to have a “soothing” effect.” Well that soothing effect is produced by the use of Carrageenan. That particular ingredient is not mentioned on the web page but it is on the product label which is why I returned my order for refund when I saw it. Check out the Cornucopia Institute's web page (menu-reports/scroll down to the guide link) for a long list/guide of food products that contain Carrageenan which is a potent inflammatory agent and possible carcinogen. It is used as a thickener mainly-it makes ice cream smoother.. Research links Carrageenan to gastrointestinal inflammation, including higher rates of colon cancer, in laboratory animals. Yet it is still found in many foods, including some certified organic foods. It is in some pet foods too-check out the list.
