Greetings,

Carrageenan is an additive to some processed foods that comes from
seaweed and is often used as a thickener.

To me, I don't think it is a big issue for the following reason. While
there are some health concerns about its use and consumption, if you
are following my recommendations and guidelines, then you are
eliminating most all processed and refined foods, which in and of
itself, would eliminate any exposure to carrageenan.

If someone wanted to avoid it 100%, then they could just avoid any
foods that contain it.

In Health
Jeff
