Has anyone tried this? The ingredients are just vegetable gums (acacia,

guar, carob, xanthan), which I don't know anything about. Are they

harmful? Atkins is marketing this and putting recipes on his website

using it, for instance, to make a white sauce to replace condensed soups

in casseroles and other dishes, such as:

Broccoli Bake

And, could you just use beef gelatin powder (like Bernard Jensens)

instead? Has anyone tried making a thick white sauce to use in a recipe

like this one?
