Investigating the Impact of the Seaweed Derived Food Additive, Carrageenan, on the Human Gut Microbiome

This study looks at how a seaweed ingredient, carrageenan (E407), found in some sweets, affects your gut bacteria. We want to see if eating these sweets changes the good and bad bacteria in your gut, especially when a fibre called inulin is added.
