Guar Gum is in Every cheap food. It lets them use more water and less real food while making it thicker to think you think it's more food. Things like cottage cheese almond milk. It absorbs eight times as much water as corn starch so can make you bloated gas constipation hemorrhoids and kill you!

https://www.livestrong.com/article/314356-the-harmful-side-effects-of-guar-gum/

If you read the ingredients of the cheap brands of things like cottage cheese half and half and other things say the Walmart brand or the Kroger Brand versus some other brand you'll see that they add guar gum. They'll say it's less than 2%, but the thing is a quarter of an ounce of that stuff can absorb a couple liquid so it means that what you think may be cottage cheese or what you think maybe half and half is actually a huge amount of thickened water with guar gum. Problem is that stuff gets in your body and it continues to thicken. It can thicken your stool so much you get constipated which makes you strain which then gives you hemorrhoids. It can actually cause intestinal blockages. That can actually kill you. You're having a lot of pain and bloating and gas and you're buying the cheap forms of these foods look at the ingredients.

For example of 32 oz container of Great value Walmart brand cottage cheese contains guacam costs $2.48 or as a 32 oz container of cottage cheese made by Daisy contains only milk cream and salt anime cost $3.40. but the problem is you're actually probably getting more cottage cheese even though the weight is the same in the daisy so you could probably get the half the size of the daisy that you do with the Kroger one.

And you're not going to have a bunch of guar gum in your intestines doing God knows what..

Thank you for the heads up. I keep a close eye on these sorts of things -- I think food chain contamination is one of the primary factors in The Troonification -- and I had never even heard of this stuff. Thankfully we are down to just a handful of food sources who I've not met personally.

It's soluble fiber. It's a fucking bean starch. Yes, it's a thickening agent; I use it all the time. Have you ever had bean soup? How does it get so thick when you don't add flour or cornstarch? Guar gum doesn't stay in your intestines - it helps flush your intestines. That's a fucking 5 year old "chewing gum stays in your guts forever" myth. It doesn't "get in your body and continue to thicken" unless you eat the crystalline form, which isn't what's in common foodstuffs.

To one of OP's points, yea, probably it helps to make food more filling, but honestly, it reduces caloric intake while increasing fullness and promoting fiber ingestion... I honestly don't see the downside given our current dietary situation on a large scale.

I could go on, but suffice it to say that this is just fearmongering bullshit. I've got a bunch of powdered guar gum that I use as a thickening agent. I've also got a bunch of corn starch that I use as a thickening agent. Also I've got a bunch of flour that I use as a thickening agent. When used for thickening, they are all calorically similar. At least guar gum doesn't tend to have the rat droppings and cockroach parts that flour does, but whatever, I roll with what I've got.

"Fibre helps you poop" is a myth. Op is saying beans make you bloated and gassy and bung you up. Are you really disputing that? Are all beans edible? Are all beans digested in the human gut the same way? Your argument depends on lack of differentiation. Eat more soy while you're at it.

"Fibre helps you poop" is a myth

My man, eat a scoop of psyllium husk sometime and come back to me on that one. It is long established fact that fiber, soluble and insoluble, helps you poop I mean... back through prehistory. Fuck man, it is literally the fucking definition that fiber isn't broken down thus moves the peristaltic process along in the intestines.

Op is saying beans make you bloated and gassy and bung you up

OP isn't saying that; OP is making specific claims about a specific starch that happens to be found in beans. Stop conflating the issue. That's like saying eating whey protein is the same as eating swiss cheese dipshit.

Are all beans digested in the human gut the same way? Your argument depends on lack of differentiation

Do all guts digest the same way? Your argument depends on a lack of differentiation. What a stupid comment - yea sure, different guts and fibers digest differently. If we can put the tautology aside for a minute, the point is - this soluble fiber is so similar to other soluble fibers that, apart from some rare metabolic disorder, people will digest it similarly. Which is to say they won't, because it's fucking fiber (see my earlier point about what fucking fiber is and how it's indigestible by definition).

Also keep an eye on xanthan gum, soy lecithin, Arabic mastic, citric acid, and carrageenan.

Oh and carob bean gum, wax, and chicory.
And contrary to popular belief even here, stevia is very bad and is actually a contraceptive.

You are welcome

Thank you for the info! Just checked the brand Food Club here. It also contains guar gum and locust bean gum. Will no longer be buying that. I might also add, watch for E120/E904, that is code for contains insects. I'm trying to compile a basic list. The food we get is complete crap. Where the fuck is usda doing their gd inspections?. Oh i forgot they're too busy helping the fucking illegal aliens.

[ - ] Ragnar 0 points 1.3 yearsJan 20, 2024 18:17:38 ago (+0/-0)

Creating a list is futile because it’s a never ending endeavour and they will keep renaming or adding new chemicals.
Just abide by THIS ONE SIMPLE RULE. Only eat food with basic real ingredients made at home. If you must buy outside food, don’t buy anything with more than five ingredients and any gums, emulsifiers, and other thickening agents.

You are welcome

Iv had an almond milk a few times just to see if it was good. It was good until a got one without sugar in accident. Then I realized it’s the sugar that tasted good not the “milk”. Also I love milk. I think I’m gonna move to India. I’m gonna worship cows. I’ll suck the milk right out of a cow nipple. Then eat the mushrooms off their shit

the main people drinking almond milk are lactards (me). always get the plain unsweetened kind.

Have you tried drinking real milk? They make lactose intolerant friendly now

Lol lactards. My cousin is lactarded. He said he used to drink milk all the time. He had some operation or something. Didn’t drink it for so long and became lactarded. So I always make sure to drink some. I love milk so much. Best drink on earth.

Actually, it's a neurotoxin thing. Look into the dates for a pesticide called "gaucho" (not sure of spelling). This eats the lining of bug intestines that would consume the wheat. This was banned in France before being removed from the market in North America.

I had serious issues and was diagnosed with celiac disease, which my symptoms have completely gone away now. I eat bread made in our own home with grains we procure from farmers we know (and even grind it ourselves).

Pretty much all industrial food is poison now. If you aren't exibiting symptoms and are consuming the poisons, it's simply a matter of time. 30 years ago, the poisons weren't so pervasive (but were still all over in "cheap" food).

Indeed. I really started noticing the difference while traveling to Europe. I would eat a ton of gluten and never get bloated or gain weight. They’re poisoning us here, without a doubt.

almost any gut related issues from our contaminated food are both inevitable and relatively easy to fix. do a proper "elimination diet" like Whole 30 for four-five weeks and your digestive system will repair itself. The human body is extremely adept at handling inputs and humans can survive eating almost anything. This is why fasting is so popular and works - it accomplishes something similar. You just need to give the body time to repair itself and the American habit of eating all of the time prevents that and is the main reason our digestive health (and follow-on consequences) are such a mess. I saw a meme not long ago about some old Grandpa who ate a quart of paint thinking it was yogurt. He was fine. Humans are a lot more robust than people want you to believe.

You stub your toe, it’s the Jews’ fault. You eat like a pig and get fat like one, it’s the Jews’ fault. You are constantly broke because of your own bad choices, it’s the Jews’ fault. Your favorite TV show gets preempted for golf, it’s the Jews’ fault. Why don’t you try taking responsibility for your own miserable, pathetic waste of a life instead of blaming your superiors for your own inferiority?

They put cellulose in the cheap name brand cream here. I pay double for th good stuff and it's only ingredient is cream.

I avoid things that have "ingredients". A potato a broccoli and a meat shouldn't have any. Bread makers are too easy to use to excuse the loaf in plastic at the store

Ingredients are listed in order by quantity. Most likely this is primarily used to keep things from separating because Americans are grossed out by that and hate stirring contents after they settle in a package. Unless it's the second or third ingredient, it's not acting as a replacement for the primary ingredient.

if you're into cottage cheese and foods like that find a Russian grocery store and prepare to have your mind blown by the selection.

Even expensive organic cottage cheese has guar gum and other insidious garbage.
Best to make your own

Bad food is why poor people are poor. This is by design. The food industry wants Black people, white, southerners, and Mexicans to be morbidly obese. If they are constantly snacking on junk, shitting on the toilet, and going to the doctor, because of the health problems, that long-term consumption of this crap can contribute to, then that keeps them from obtaining economic and therefore political power because all that time is time they could’ve been working to become upwardly mobile.

Carbs are slave foods. Fat slaves are easier to catch.

People who too little protein and too many carbs, but mostly they eat badly for too often. You can eat hydrogenated seed oil and drive-thru goyslop for a week straight then eat properly for a weekend (or better, eat very little for a weekend) and you'll feel fine. the body has all kinds of methods for dealing with garbage in what we eat, you just need to give them time to work. for the majority of human life we did not have ready access to food all of the time so breaks where the system can sort itself out are built into the system. This is why it was tradition to never snack between meals.

A very small amount of guar gum is great for thickening a soup.
