Hi Opal, thanks for your comments!

That is funny. I found it very interesting when I was researching this that people who are allergic to corn have to avoid cosmetics (or any products) that contain xanthan gum.

I’m glad you found me through Catherine’s blog, and thank you so much for your compliments! It helps me a lot to know that people are getting something positive out of what I’m writing here on my site.

I had to smile when I saw this headline. I know exactly what xanthun gum is. I used to use it to thicken up some of the skin care products that I sell. It does not take a lot to get the consistency I need to otherwise “watery oils” maybe a 1/4 tsp? I switched to guar gum simply because I like it much better. I found you through Cath Lawson by the way. I really like your website.

Hi, thank you so much for each of your comments!

@Dee, cool, I’m very happy to hear that you’re enjoying what I’m writing, that makes it worth my time to keep spreading the word!

@Lullaby, hi, and welcome! I love hearing about other people who are making a lifestyle change and getting off of the processed food. There truly is so much gunk in the store bought food, and where does all of that go when we eat it? No one can convince me that there is not a correlation between the drastic change in our food system in the past 30 years and the increase in both disease (physical and mental) and obesity.

And, youâ€™re welcome, thanks for subscribing!

@Catherine, sure np! You’re right, in addition to the sugar and other additives (incl. xanthan gum), ice cream is chock full of unhealthy ingredients. Now I’m not someone that recommends dairy, but I think you would be better off making homemade ice cream….does anyone do that anymore? I haven’t seen it done since I was a kid, and I never tried it myself.
