An article on yogurt in the latest Consumer Reports states:

	"A number of the yogurts contain carrageenan [sic],
	a stabilizer that is best avoided during pregnancy
	and infectious illness."

Carrageen is only a seaweed.  What does it do to you (or the fetus)
if you are pregnant?  What happens if you are sick?  Anyone know?
