natural-health-journals.com/gums-in-foods-causing-health-problems-for-many "Could ‘Gums’ in Processed Foods Be Causing Your Digestive or Other Health Problems? If you read ingredient labels on processed foods at the supermarket, you’ve probably noticed that gums are very common additives nowadays. Whether it’s xanthan gum, guar gum, locust bean gum (also called carob bean gum) or a few others, these compounds are found in a wide range of products, where they act as thickening, stabilizing and emulsifying agents. Some gum thickeners and emulsifiers might not have the word ‘gum’ in their names, but are considered gums nonetheless. Examples of these are: carrageenan, cellulose (sometimes listed as ‘cellulose gum’), agar (or agar-agar) and alginate (also called sodium alginate or algin)...." My notes: When I searched, I found a lot of articles against the 'gums'. I know I myself am sensitive to them & have to be careful.
