Long-Term
Carrageenan Exposure Induces Fasting Hyperglycemia and Exacerbates Effects of High Fat Diet, without Effect on Weight.
And while
carrageenan doesn't cause cancer, it contains a contaminant that may increase colorectal cancer risk by a tiny amount.
The piglet study was conducted by an independent laboratory and supported by
carrageenan producers and related industries.
For activation of
carrageenan beads, they were soaked in polyethyleneimine (PEI) at desired concentration and left to react with it at room temperature.

Juliet Franciso, an agriculturist from Pulilan, Bulacan, also gave a testimony on the effectivity of the
carrageenan technology.
Scientists from the DOST-PNRI developed the PGP from
carrageenan, a natural polymer extracted from red seaweed.
This dentifrice composition is comprised of water, a calcium-containing abrasive, a flavorant (with a Flavor Blooming Index (FBI) of menthol of at least one of the following--greater than 250 at 40 seconds; greater than 290 at 60 seconds; and greater than 330 at 120 seconds), tetrasodium pyrophosphate,
carrageenan, carboxymethyl cellulose, thickening silica and sodium lauryl sulfate surfactant.
The researchers produced nanoparticles, suspended in water, by the anti-solvent precipitation method and combined them with iota
carrageenan suspended in sodium phosphate buffer at zein to
carrageenan ratios of 1-to-0, 2-to-1 and 1-to-1.
