Re: Carrageenan--ATTN Kinnickinnicks

Jay:

I appreciate your postings and the time you take to explain issues in

detail. We have been very fortunate to have you posting on this group. My

kids love Kinnikinnick food especially the waffles.

It is nice to know that you are willing to do some research if need be

for the better of our group. I have found some great articles on carrageenan

and will not use products with this ingredient.

Thanks,

Sharon

We don't use it or add it to any of our products. I wouldn't say one way or

another what you should take from the studies. The reason I posted it is

that there was some news coverage here in Canada about it last week. I

posted only as a head's-up figuring some would like to know that there

" could " be an issue. I didn't do an exhaustive search but I'm sure you can

find more studies out there on the internet. I'm also sure some will say

avoid it, some will say it's ok. As with everything, the more information

we have, the more informed decisions we can make on everything we eat.
