I'm bumping up this thread because I think this is very worthwhile information. I'm making an effort to cut out carrageenan myself and it is not easy! I usually drink almond milk, because I am lactose intolerant. I went grocery shopping today and after much reading of ingredients, I finally found one brand of almond milk that doesn't list carrageenan in the ingredients (Silk almond). Now I need to find a supplement drink that doesn't have carrageenan - I've been drinking Ensure but that does contain carrageenan, so time to make a switch.

Ensure clear doesn't have it but its full of other junk.

I haven't tried Ensure clear but I've heard someone else say that it's really gross.

It's not bad, I don't mind it but I also don't want to drink it more than once a day. It leaves a weird residue in the mouth.
