The text explicitly states that "Carrageenan is made from edible seaweed."
Use this paragraph to answer the question.
Seaweed is used in most ice creams as a thickening agent. The food additive, carrageenan, is made from
edible seaweeds and is often listed on the labels of ice cream and other products. There is some
controversy over its use in foods that are labeled as "all-natural" or "healthy." The issue over
carrageenan is that some studies have suggested it might cause inflammation in the intestines,
while others have indicated that it might even contribute to the production of cancer cells. However, many
scientists have found these studies to be flawed and declared the food additive as safe to eat.
