Does Carrageenan Raise Cancer Risk?

A lot of people have asked me about carrageenan, which is used to thicken many products. Silken, for example, uses carrageenan as a thickner. Click on the following link to Dr. Weil's website and get the lowdown on carrageenan.

Don't just believe everything you hear, take the time to do the research and find the truth. There are lots of "scare" stories out there and if you just believe them all you will find that there is nothing left that is safe to eat. Use your head and take the time to find the truth.

Wherever there is controversy, I choose to be cautious. Because I am not qualified to determine which study is correct, I choose to avoid products that contain carageenan. In reality, the safest way is to avoid all processed foods in general.
