Ever wondered what's REALLY in your food? Join me as I use the power of ChatGPT to analyze food labels, nutrition facts, and ingredients, breaking down the complex terms into understandable bites. I'll spotlight potential cancer-causing ingredients and unveil an instant trick to extract essential information just from taking a picture (which you can easily and swiftly do in a supermarket while shopping). For instance, in this video, ChatGPT correctly identified Carrageenan as a potentially dangerous ingredient, even though it is considered "safe" by health bodies. If I were you, I would stay away from it, though:

"When carrageenan is processed with acid, it creates a substance called degraded carrageenan, or poligeenan, which carries significant health warnings. Findings like these have led the International Agency for Research in Cancer to list poligeenan as a possible human carcinogen. The medical community is unsure to what extent carrageenan degrades in the digestive system. This means that we do not know if any amount is toxic. It is important to note that no related studies have involved human participants.

Findings of a review from 2017 indicated that even non-degraded carrageenan can cause inflammation and bowel disorders, suggesting that this substance may contribute to ulcers and IBD.

However, authors of a 2018 review concluded that there is not enough evidence to draw conclusions about the exact health effects of carrageenan."

"If you’re worried about the side effects of Carrageenan, take it out of your diet and see if there’s any improvement in how you’re feeling. It’s legally required to be listed under a product’s ingredients, so it should be easy to start to figure out what foods to eliminate."

Stay informed, eat smart, and be health-conscious!
