*sigh* I really don't know what to say. Some of the studies that document dangers from it look pretty valid to me. But, it's a natural ingredient (a thickener) that's been used in foods for a really, really long time. I don't particularly think it's associated with IBS attacks. But whether it's going to turn out to be a food product with serious health risks, I just don't know.

Sorry that's not a very confident answer. Personally, I use Silk soy yogurt and soy milk, which both have carageenan, but I worry about it as I'm eating them. So there's my definition of mixed emotions on the topic, I guess.
