Re: Benefiber       06/15/04 05:27 PM Edit Reply Quote Karin Reged: 02/11/03 Posts: 483 Loc: Southern California I respectfully disagree due to so many sites that state that Guar Gum is used as a laxative (am I missing something)? "Uses for Guar Gum Powder Used In emulsions, toothpastes, lotions and creams. From ground nutritive seed tissue of the plants, cultivated in India, it has 5 to 8 times the thickening power of starch. Employed also as a bulk laxative, appetite suppressant, and to treat peptic ulcers. A stabilizer in Foods and beverages. No known toxicity" Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
