Should You Avoid Carrageenan?
If you're a label reader, and let me tell you I sure am, you might have noticed carrageenan listed as one of the ingredients. When I first saw it listed on a Ben and Jerry's pint (yes, ice cream is OK when eaten in moderation), it brought up a couple of questions for me – What exactly is carrageenan and is it something I should avoid?
Carrageenan is actually extracted from red seaweed, and the name comes from a type of seaweed found growing on the coast of Ireland.
