Guest guest Posted July 28, 2002 Report Share Posted July 28, 2002 Hi all, Just ran across the following page about guar gum. (www.wholefoods.com/healthinfo/guargum.html). It includes the following paragraph. In the late 1980s, guar gum was used and heavily promoted in several weight loss products. FDA eventually recalled these due to reports of esophageal blockage from insufficient fluid intake. For this reason, guar gum is no longer approved for use in over-the-counter weight loss aids in the United States. However, it remains approved for use as an emulsifier, thickener, and stabilizer. So be sure to drink enough water with your guar gum. -- Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
