Cassia gum is the endosperm processed into a powdery substance, its trade name DIAGUM cS. In foreign markets to sell in two forms: one is 100% cassia Tora / obtusifolia seed endosperm made of powdered material; other is a gel or thickening agent and other complex mixture of additives.  

Cassia gum for combination with other glial production of gels, in food applications have great potential value to be used as a thickener, emulsifier, foam stabilizer, insurance agent and so on. The amount of locust bean gum and guar gum and similar. 

Cassia gum side in the 1980s, appeared abroad, and carried out the toxicological experiment. At present, Europe has approved food additives as a stabilizer for pet food. Department of Health and Welfare of Japan August 10, 1995 Notice No. 160 of Cassia gum as a food additive approval. United States set up by the toxicology, pharmacology and food expert group composed of scientific experts, review and Cassia gum as a thickener for pet food safety. China has yet to see the production, use or development of the products reported.

I also appreciate from a labelling point of view, you cannot write in full script the entire name of each food additive, and hence, numbers need to be used. Although this point still grates on me greatly as I think the consumer needs to be made obviously aware to specific additives that could be harmful, rather than having to follow a trail of information, which requires a level of knowledge and education. 

But what about the foods that we feed our kids everyday or even occasionally? I personally believe that it is the Sodium Alginate responsibility of the parent to check the foods they are feeding their child and educate them about their food choices, but as mentioned before, this often requires a degree in food science to understand the labelling or nutritional requirements, let alone the access to the extended information, which is published in obscure pockets of food companies' websites. 

Certain food additives have been linked to beneficial but also incredibly detrimental consequences in our children. One common negative result of food additives is hyperactivity and sometimes ADHD. There are few studies which I would like to delve into further and provide you with more information, but not right now. The real concern is, is that if these foods and beverages are linked to the development of ADHD, the child may be unnecessarily prescribed with drugs, when really they just need to lay of the coloured soft drink!!
