Even in my own research on carrageenan I can't find anything conclusive.

It's safe. Here's how to spot dumb Facebook bullshit meme health crap posted by dumb people with respect to acids.

All acids are just protons being shuttled by water molecules in a complex know as hydronium. ALL acids. All of them.

The only difference between, for example, vinegar (acetic acid) and concentrated nitric acid is the molecule's ability to readily give up/let go of it's acidic proton.

Coming to my point, any substance carragenan is added to will have a pH. There's nothing special about stomach acid that would cause to become cancerous. Adding it to sour cream? It's got some acid, by their claim it would automatically cancerous. Which it's not.

Carragenan is a polysaccharide made by algea I believe. It's a type of long chain sugar. All it does is increase viscosity and improve mouthfeel. In the case of coffee beverage from the store for example, carragenan and other gums are added to low-fat beverage formulations to provide the same Timon and mouth feel of full-fat drink.

Your explanation about acids and their reactions is pretty bad.

Shh, just let Dr. Hagmeyer's helpful chart explain how to be healthy. He spent all night making this in CorelDraw.

Half of the shit that makes up junk food is not safe, There's really not much you can do about it.

I can't say this is proof, but here is some food for thought. Sources at the bottom.

the thickening agent is natural, the products it is used for may not be

It's currently generally recognised as safe (GRAS), yes.

There was one study from Joanne Tobacman that linked poligeenan to inflammation, but repeated attempts to replicate her study with carrageenan completely failed. Unless you are eating boric acid (and, you are not), the only thing that would cause one to transform into the other would be raising it to a near-boil at ≈87°C (which would itself kill you if it happened in your stomach).

She went on the defensive and starting pushing her bullshit to "natural science" snake-oil pushers, which is a good indication that the study was probably fabricated, Wakefield-style, from the beginning.

It's from a seaweed.
