Is agar safe?

After the info I have found searching the board for carrageene, saying that it can cause inflammation and irritation in the GI tract, I am now wondering if the same goes for agar or if that is safe.

(I did see a post where someone claimed that carrageene was closely related to MSG which I didn't understand at all. How are they related?)

If agar isn't safe either then that pretty much means all soy products available in the stores where I shop are bad, which would mean I could no longer make say soy yogurt dressings. (I don't feel like making my own soy yogurt.)
