Q: Umhlobo wam wandixelela ukuba ndiyeke ukutya iyogathi endiyithandayo kuba ine-carrageenan kuyo. Ngaba unyanisile?

A: I-Carrageenan yikhompawundi ekhutshwe kwi-red seweed eyongezwa ukuphucula ukuthungwa kunye nokuvakala komlomo wokutya. Ukusetyenziswa kwayo ngokubanzi njengesongezo ekutyeni kwaqala ngee-1930s, ekuqaleni kubisi lwetshokholethi, kwaye ngoku kufumaneka kwiyogathi, i-ayisikrimu, ubisi lwe-soy, ubisi lwe-almond, inyama yokutya, kunye nokutya kugungqisa ukutya.

Kumashumi eminyaka amaqela ahlukeneyo kunye nososayensi bezama ukufumana i-FDA ukuba iyekise i-carrageenan njengesongezo sokutya ngenxa yomonakalo onokubangelwa kukugaya ukutya. Kutshanje, le ngxoxo iphinde yalawulwa ngengxelo yabathengi kunye nesikhalazo liqela lezokukhuthaza kunye nelokuphanda ngomgaqo-nkqubo wokutya iCornucopia enesihloko esithi, "Njani Isongezo sokutya kwendalo esisigulisayo."

Nangona kunjalo, i-FDA kusafuneka iphinde ivule uphononongo kukhuseleko lwe-carrageenan, icacisa ukuba akukho datha intsha ekufuneka ithathelwe ingqalelo. I-FDA ayibonakali ngathi inenkani apha, njengonyaka ophelileyo basiqwalasele kwaye emva koko basikhaba isicelo sikaJoanne Tobacman, MD, unjingalwazi kwiYunivesithi yaseIllinois, ukuvala icarrageenan. UGqr Tobacman uye waphanda isongezelelo kunye neempembelelo zayo ekudumbeni kunye nezifo ezivuthayo kwizilwanyana kunye neeseli kwiminyaka eyi-10 yokugqibela.

Iinkampani ezinje ngeStonyfield kunye neOrganic Valley zisusile okanye zisusa iicarrageenan kwiimveliso zazo, ngelixa ezinye ezinje ngeWhite Wave Foods (eyeSilk kunye neHorizon Organic) abawuboni umngcipheko wokusetyenziswa kwecarrageenan kwinqanaba elifunyenwe kukutya kwaye abanazicwangciso ukuhlaziya iimveliso zabo nge-thickener eyahlukileyo.

Kufuneka wenze ntoni? Okwangoku akukho datha ebantwini ebonisa ukuba ineziphumo ezibi kwezempilo. Nangona kunjalo, kukho idatha yenkcubeko yezilwanyana kunye neeseli ecebisa ukuba inokubangela umonakalo emathunjini akho kwaye yandise izifo zamathumbu ezivuthayo ezifana nesifo sikaCrohn. Abanye abantu, iiflegi ezibomvu ezivela kwidatha yezilwanyana zanele ngokwaneleyo ukuba zisuswe ekudleni kwabo, ngelixa abanye bekhetha ukubona ezi ziphumo zibi kwizifundo zabantu ngaphambi kokufunga isithako esithile.

Esi sisigqibo somntu ngamnye. Enye yezinto ezintle malunga nokutya eMelika kukuba sinokukhetha okuninzi. Ngokomntu, andicingi ukuba idatha kule nqanaba iqinisekisa ixesha lokujonga iileyibhile kunye nokuthenga iimveliso ze-carrageenan-free. Ngokunyuka kwe-buzz ejikeleze i-carrageenan, ndiqinisekile ukuba siza kuba nophando olongezelelweyo ebantwini kwixa elizayo ukusinika impendulo ethe kratya.
