Umbuzo: Umngane wami wangitshela ukuthi ngiyeke ukudla iyogathi engiyithandayo ngoba ine-carrageenan kuyo. Ingabe uqinisile?

A: ICarrageenan iyinhlanganisela ekhishwe ezimileni zasolwandle ezibomvu ezingezwe ukwenza ngcono ukuthungwa nomlomo wokudla. Ukusetshenziswa kwayo okubanzi njengesengezo ekudleni kwaqala ngawo-1930, kwaqala ngobisi lukashokoledi, futhi manje kutholakala ku-yogurt, u-ayisikhilimu, ubisi lwe-soy, ubisi lwe-alimondi, inyama yokudla, nokushintshwa kokudla.

Sekungamashumi eminyaka amaqembu ahlukene nososayensi bezama ukwenza i-FDA ivimbele i-carrageenan njengesengezo sokudla ngenxa yomonakalo ongaba khona ongawubangela emgudwini wokugaya ukudla. Muva nje, le mpikiswano isetshenziswe kabusha ngombiko wabathengi kanye nesikhalazo seqembu lokucwaninga nenqubomgomo yokudla iCornucopia enesihloko esithi, "How a Natural Food Additive Is Making Us Sick."

Kodwa-ke, i-FDA isazovula kabusha ukubuyekezwa ngokuphepha kwe-carrageenan, icaphuna ukuthi ayikho idatha entsha ezocatshangelwa. I-FDA ibonakala ingenankani lapha, njengoba nje ngonyaka odlule bacubungulile base benqaba isicelo sikaJoanne Tobacman, MD, onguprofesa e-University of Illinois, sokunqabela i-carrageenan. UDkt. Tobacman ubelokhu enza ucwaningo ngesengezo kanye nemithelela yaso ekuvukeleni nasezifweni zokuvuvukala ezilwaneni nasemaselula kule minyaka eyishumi edlule.

Izinkampani ezifana ne-Stonyfield ne-Organic Valley zisusile noma zikhipha i-carrageenan emikhiqizweni yazo, kanti ezinye ezifana ne-White Wave Foods (ephethe i-Silk ne-Horizon Organic) aziyiboni ingozi ngokusetshenziswa kwe-carrageenan ezingeni elitholakala ekudleni futhi azinayo izinhlelo. ukwenza kabusha imikhiqizo yabo nge-thickener ehlukile.

Yini okufanele uyenze? Njengamanje ayikho idatha kubantu ekhombisa ukuthi idala imiphumela emibi yezempilo. Kodwa-ke, kunedatha yesiko lezilwane neseli ephakamisa ukuthi kungabangela ukulimala emathunjini akho futhi kubhebhethekise izifo zamathumbu ezivuvukalayo njengesifo sikaCrohn. Kwabanye abantu, amafulegi abomvu emininingwane yezilwane akwanele ukugunyazwa ukususwa ekudleni kwabo, kanti abanye bangathanda ukubona lokhu okutholakele okungalungile ezifundweni zabantu ngaphambi kokufunga isithako esithile.

Lesi yisinqumo somuntu ngamunye. Enye yezinto ezinhle ngokudla eMelika ukuthi sinenqwaba yezinketho. Ngokwami, angicabangi ukuthi idatha njengamanje inika isikhathi sokuhlola amalebula futhi uthenge imikhiqizo ye-carrageenan. Nge-buzz eyengeziwe ezungeze i-carrageenan, ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi sizoba nocwaningo olwengeziwe kubantu ngokuzayo ukuze basinikeze impendulo ecacile.
