We can't find evidence that holds up here. Proponents are reasoning from mechanism or analogy rather than direct human data, and the most credible skeptics raise objections we can't dismiss.
carrageenan found in things like creamers nut milks anything that needs to be thickened is a sulfated polysaccharide derived from algae that has been studied extensively and found to cause inflammation potentially pre-cancerous lesions in animal models and in some human trials
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
a lot of them contain carrageenan which is a long molecule that is shown pretty clearly in animal and human studies to cause inflammation and problems in the human gut
all the oat milks and almond milks that have carrageenanin a compound from algae that's known to irritate the gut cause gut issues
some of the Almond milks have carrageenan which is a real problem because we talked about the importance of the gut early earlier and how immune cells originate in the gut and they go to your brain for multiple sclerosis or they go to your pancreas for type 1 diabetes or they go to your skin for psoriasis and eczema or they go to your skin for acne like acne is autoimmune and so you really need to protect your gut and kerogene is this this is a technical word it's a sulfated polysaccharide from algae that clearly causes damage to the gut and it's in a lot of foods it can be in creamers even Dairy creamers but it's in a lot of these nut milks and that's going to harm your gut
this also contains kagenin and emulsifier a thickening agent consistently shown in animal studies and human cell culture trials to be inflammatory and irritating for the human gut food grade kagenin is also consistent L found to have significant amounts of nonfood grade degraded kagenin which is a known cancer-causing agent and is clearly damaging for the gut
this peppermint mocha also contains kagenin a sulfated polysaccharide from algae that is used as a thickening agent that is clearly been shown to damage the gut to cause leaky gut
