Even seemingly healthy brands use it, but there seems to be a lot of confusion around this sneaky little food additive.<\/p>\n<p>So, what <em>is<\/em> carrageenan? And should you be worried about this under-the-radar ingredient?<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h4>What is Carrageenan?<\/h4>\n<p>This hard-to-pronounce food additive is derived from red seaweed and is commonly used in the food industry for its ability to thicken and stabilize. It offers no nutritional value or flavour and isn\u2019t digestible\u2014yet food manufacturers have found it to be an easy and cost-effective way to emulsify their products and give them that \u201cfull fat\u201d texture.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also often found in \u201cnatural\u201d and organic foods including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nutritional shakes<\/li>\n<li>Dairy-free milk and yogurt (almond, coconut, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>Baby formula<\/li>\n<li>Coffee creamer<\/li>\n<li>Supplements<\/li>\n<li>Deli meat<\/li>\n<li>Toothpaste<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>What Are the Side Effects of Carrageenan?<\/h4>\n<p>Although carrageenan is derived from a natural source, it\u2019s been linked to some serious health issues.<\/p>\n<p>Studies show that carrageen increases <a href=\"https:\/\/blog-well.ca\/natural-ways-to-cool-down-inflammation\/\">inflammation<\/a> in the digestive tract, which can trigger everything from colitis to Crohn\u2019s and other forms of IBS\u2014so especially if you already have a sensitive stomach, it may be a good idea to avoid this ingredient. Carrageenan may also mess with blood sugar balance, which is a key factor in helping you maintain a healthy weight and keeping your hormones balanced.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also important to note that carrageenan causes inflammation and when we consume foods with it, we contribute to overall inflammation in our bodies. We know that inflammation is the root cause of many chronic diseases, so keeping inflammation at bay should be a top priority.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>How to Avoid Consuming Carrageenan<\/h4>\n<p>The best way to avoid consuming carrageenan is to start reading labels of the food products you are consuming. You\u2019ll likely be surprised at the number of products that contain it!<\/p>\n<p>Another thing to watch out for is carrageenan that may be present in the final product but not listed on the label if it\u2019s only used as a \u201cprocessing aid.\u201d You can always get in touch with a company directly to confirm whether or not carrageenan is present in their final product.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve been consuming store-bought products, the best option is to look for carrageenan-free brands or try making your own homemade version of your favourites. Ideas include homemade almond milk, coconut milk, and even dairy-free yogurts. A few carrageenan-free products include <u><a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/silk-true-almond-unsweetened-vanilla_149812.html\">Silk Almond Milk<\/a><\/u>, <u><a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/elmhurst-milked-oats_161341.html\">Elmhurst Oat Milk<\/a><\/u>, <u><a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/so-delicious-organic-original_58806.html\">So Delicious Coconut Milk<\/a><\/u>, and <u><a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/califia-almond-milk-creamer-unsweetened_148286.html\">Califia Almond Milk Creamer<\/a><\/u>.<\/p>\n<h4>The Bottom Line<\/h4>\n<p>Although it may not be as bad as some sources make it seem, it\u2019s hard to find evidence for any major health benefits associated with carrageenan, which may be reason enough to avoid it.<\/p>\n<p>That said, more studies are needed to determine if consuming small amounts of carrageenan is safe in the long term. My advice: Do your own research, ask questions, and decide what feels right for your body and health.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]If you\u2019ve ever looked at the label of your favorite store-bought dairy-free products, you may have noticed an ingredient called carrageenan.
