They are often used in the food industry due to their stabilizing, gelling, and thickening properties.

It triggers a negative immune response that causes inflammation. Research has linked carrageenan to a higher rate of colon ᴄᴀɴᴄᴇʀ , along with gastrointestinal inflammation that can cause IBS, spastic colon, chronic diarrhea and inflammatory bowel disease.
