❌ These are common incidents you’ll find in most almond milks from the store:
️Carrageenan – This seaweed-based thickener has been linked to digestive inflammation and issues like IBS and ulcers, especially in sensitive individuals. It can cause severe gut inflammation.
Artificial Flavors – Often added for taste, these can include synthetic chemicals that may not agree with sensitive systems.
Added Sugars – Many almond milks contain added sugars, which increase your daily intake without you realizing it.
Gums (like guar and locust bean) – While generally safe in small amounts, these thickeners can cause bloating and discomfort in some individuals.
