Carrageenan
Carrageenan is a natural product derived from seaweed. It is used in toothpastes as a thickening agent, and also in foods such as chocolate milk, yogurts and creams.
Despite it being a natural product it may not be totally safe. It has been shown to potentially cause inflammation in the intestine and possible colon tumours.
