They are taking the natural foods and adulterating them to add to our food supplies. I come from an era that this was never a concern because everyone used basic food groups and not combining all and everything to make the palate believe your eating something else.

Allergies, immune diseases, cancer, heart issues, and diabetes, have all grown exponentially because someone has told us what to eat and what is good and not good. Why is everyone trusting someone else and not doing your own investigation work.

Since the 1970′s when the big people in charge starting to tell us that saturated fats were no good for us, I stopped trusting anything given to the public to change the buying market. The research data is available to anyone curious enough to look.

This carrageenan scare is only one of the small health issues staring at our future and the lives of us and our children. I am 66 years old and through the help of God have been shown the truth about many things that are plaguing the present generation.

The salient theme is – avoid crap (carrageenan) is crap. I suggest avoid the crap that contains the crap. Your thyroid will thank you by eliminating the soy and other anti-nutrients from the crappy junk faux food products practically everyone here seems to drink. Wake up ladies!

Further, gelatin (cooked collagen) is comprised of the anti-inflammatory amino acids (35% of the amino acids in gelatin are glycine, 11% alanine, and 21% proline and hydroxyproline – Ray Peat).

Duh, gelatin doesn’t pass for a vegetable product – it’s the cartilage in an animal. People used to eat the whole animal – most don’t. If you don;t know this is a problem – then you fail to understand one of the value that animals provide for humans nutritionally.

Before reacting – realize anti-nutrients exist in plant sources. It’s not wise to go down the road of bashing animals as food or the problems with vegetables. But wiser to realize the problems AND the benefits with foods from each.

But fer Chrissakes people – realize the many crap foods discussed on this thread are NOT food at all. You’re drinking processed crap – minus carrageenan.
