Why anyone would willingly digest xantham gum is beyond me.

  Who's digesting xanthan gum? It's a soluble fiber, the body does not process it. Compare to gluten which it often replaces and is digested, with occasional consequence.

  My squimishness about things is kind of weird when I evaluate it. I don't care about Xantham Gum or yeast - both microbial products. Honey - literally insect vomit - is also fine. Though I'd be uncomfortable eating honeycomb, and I don't handle well meat where evidence of actual living organism is notable (veins, organs, actual shapes of parts of animals) I made Xiao Long Bao a while back, and part of the process is to make essentially meat jello. Meat Jello is pretty gross to me, but when it's heated up and fills a dumpling with a rich umame soup, it's amazing. We're all different. Is there something that you eat that you think others would find wholly unpalatable?

  What do you see as wrong with xanthan gum?
