Blossom said:Watch out for carageenan as an additive in many commercial varieties of heavy cream. I have even noticed it pop up in some of the organic brands.
Good sleuthing.Blossom said:I noticed carrageenan was a problem before discovering Peat's work. It was quite confusing at first because the foods seemed unrelated until I realized it was this mysterious substance called carrageenan that was bothering me. I thought I was making good choices at the time but my body sure told me differently. One of the items was coconut milk and the other was a 'natural gluten free' lunch meat. Oh well. I wonder how many unsuspecting people are vaguely sick or being treated for IBS from all the foulness added to foods? Does anyone know if it is used as a food additive in other countries besides the U.S.?
Hagan daaz chocolate and coffee flavors in the US are free of gums and added PUFA. Maybe other flavors too but I haven't checked. Daisy brand cottage cheese too.tara said:Good sleuthing.Blossom said:I noticed carrageenan was a problem before discovering Peat's work.

Yes, E407. Haven't found any icecream without it, incuding various fancy brands. And in cream cheese, cottage cheese, yogurts, reduced cream, evaporated milk, ...

I've gotten plain cafe latte from Starbucks a couple times because it is just steamed milk and espresso. I add sugar to mine.jyb said:BingDing said:The half and half at Starbucks, Caribou Coffee, and every coffee shop I've been in has carrageenan in it, I ask to see the container it comes in.

What is safe at Starbucks or coffee chains in general? I guess you can always go with filter and expresso. Maybe latte too.
