A common food additive in ice cream, yogurt, and processed meats, carrageenan, has raised health concerns. While short-term use didn’t impact insulin sensitivity, it increased gut permeability (“leaky gut”) and inflammation markers, especially in those with higher body weight. These changes could heighten risks for chronic conditions like diabetes and inflammation-related diseases. 🩺

Researchers urge caution with processed foods containing carrageenan, especially for individuals prone to inflammation or metabolic disorders. More studies are needed to understand its long-term effects.
