Rice/Almond/Coconut Milk contains MSG and Carageenan
I switched over to rice, almond and coconut milk a few years back because I didn't want to use cow's milk anymore.

Lately I'm noticing that all of the various brands now have "natural flavors" in the ingredients (which is a pseudonym for monosodium glutamate), as well as carageenan (a seaweed extract) that lately has been linked to gastrointestinal problems. Plus, several of the brands have sugar in their vanilla-flavored rice or almond milk, as well as other questionable ingredients like soy lecithin.

Does anyone know of any brands that don't have these ingredients? It is so frustrating that you can hardly get any products that don't have high fructose corn syrup, MSG, soy protein isolate and all of that crap.

Carageenan is given to lab animals to excite inflammation for testing anti-inflammatory drugs.

In other words, Carageenan causes inflammation.

a quick lookup of Carageenan shows VASTLY CONFLICTING evidence, it promotes cancers in some rat studies and is used as an anti-cancer agent in some personal lubricants.

Sorry, you can't have it both ways.

WHAT IS THIS SHIT that is used far more widely in USA than UK? Same with fluoride, used more widely in USA. And statins (no harmful side effects).

LOL - why your Consumer Industry try keel yoo

I think I'm gonna go with just drinking Distilled Water. There is nothing safe to drink anymore.

And I really loved that Almond Milk

Why can't you make your own milk?
It is so easy!
You dont know what almond milk is if you haven't tried the homemade staff.
NO COMPARISON!
The easiest way to make almond milk.
I assume you have a basic blender...
Get raw almond butter.
Put a glass of water in the blender and 2 tablespoons of the butter, tiny! pinch of salt and 1/2 date (you can go without the salt and the date if you're lazy). Blend, strain. 1 min and you have fresh, amazing almond milk.

Yep. Or cashews soaked overnight then blended with some water, and a little agave or vanilla, whatever takes your fancy. One cup of nuts will give you four cups of milk. Cheap and delicious.

Re: Rice/Almond/Coconut Milk contains MSG and Carageenan
i stopped buying SILK brand as my regular "milk" when i found out they were using soybeans from china....i now drink rice dream rice milk and blue diamond almond milk.....both are awesome. i use some dairy .... cream for tea and sometimes i will use milk, but trying to be more vegan again.

i will read the labels on my stuff, but last time i looked i didn't see any questionable ingredients. you can always contact the company and ask what they mean by "natural flavorings" or whatever concerns you.

People are lazy, most will not go with the soaking thing.
Just use ANY raw nut butter and you are going to drink delicious milk in 1 min.
Coconut milk made from coconut flakes is to die for.
No need to buy the boxes.
After drinking home made milk try the boxed one and I promise you'll vomit.
I'm not kidding!
