message: Moreover, in various web pages you may find descriptions of GG use in sauces as being useful in "highly acidic emulsions". However in "The Art of Suspending Particulates" by Cindy Hazen (Food Product Design™, Nov 2006) it is stated that dressings or marinades high in acidic vinegar or lemon juice can reduce the ability of guar gum due to degradation. So this is an area that needs to be further researched. I'm guessing that when GG is complexed (with either boron or calcium) then pH stability is improved due to cross-branching. So is GG's stability noticably improved in very hard water, or in yogurts and kefirs (all contain calcium)? --Zymatik 18:28, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Conflicting info about its pH stability 

message: The article's explanation about this property is currently quite vague. However, GG's use in frozen dairy foods is important enough to warrant additional research about this. So I temporarily plagiarized the adverb 'non-specifically', because at this point we have so little info, and it could be a clue as to finding additional info somewhere.--Zymatik 18:28, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

message: The phrase: "The dietary fiber supplement Benefiber® (Novartis) consists of 100% partially hydrolyzed guar gum." was removed because Benefiber no longer uses guar gum, for financial reasons. They now use wheat gluten. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.22.37.222 (talk) 18:19, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Guar gum is a water-soluble fiber that acts as a bulk forming laxative, and as such, it is claimed to be effective in promoting regular bowel movements and relieve constipation and chronic related functional bowel ailments; such as diverticulosis, Crohn's disease, colitis and irritable bowel syndrome, among others. The increased mass in the intestines stimulates the movement of waste and toxins from the system, which is particularly helpful for good colon health, because it speeds the removal of waste and bacteria from the bowel and colon. In addition, because it is soluble, it is also able to absorb toxic substances (bacteria) that cause infective diarrhea.  This section reads like a combination of good logical science and psuedoscience. The vague talk of "toxins" and "removing... bacteria from the bowel" definitely sound dodgy to me and I would request that this is reviewed and evidence is supplied.
Not to mention that "Several studies have found ...[citation needed]" is essentially an oxymoron. 188.103.122.15 (talk) 08:33, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

message: I've been doing a lot of research on food allergy labeling, and as far as I understand it, if soy is an ingredient in a food, it must be labeled in common language (as in called soy or soya) in the United States.  Is this 10% a contamination thing or is it a part of some processes of making guar gum?  I think this information ought to be added if someone knows.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.37.244.172 (talk) 23:06, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
