Why is it important?
The relevance of the review is related to the wide use of carrageenan, mainly in mammalian food, and the potential of these substances to cause inflammation and possible toxic effects in mammals, especially in humans.
Perspectives
We hope this review can draw attention to the use of carrageenan and its long-term toxic effects. Its accumulation in the body can maintain high levels of inflammation and increase the predisposition to generate inflammatory diseases.
