Cancer Causing Carrageenan In Pet Food

Do you feed your pet canned pet food?

Well, if the answer is yes, a word of caution before your next purchase, if I may.

Before you select a canned pet food product, you’ll want to search through the ingredient panel for a deadly and commonly used additive called “carrageenan”. If mentioned in the list of ingredients, research says to leave that can on the shelf right where you found it!

Carrageenan is a highly effective thickener and stabilizer found in processed pet foods. These pet foods can be found anywhere from your local grocery store, pet shop or even your veterinary clinic!

The Report

A new report sheds light on serious problems in pet food that could negatively impact companion animal health. Issued by The Cornucopia Institute, a non-profit food/farm policy research group, the report found that more than 70 percent of canned pet foods contain carrageenan, a non-nutritive food stabilizer extracted from red seaweed.

Peer-reviewed, published research indicates that food-grade carrageenan is known to cause intestinal inflammation and serious related diseases, with the potential to lead to cancer, even in small doses.  (continued. . . at http://www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com/cancer-causing-carrageenan/)

Often companies ramble that food grade is okay because... blah, blah, blah.  So, this is great info.  Thanks.  I added a link (back to this thread) in the carrageenan free food list.
