Redirect
I've put in a redirect to this page from Carmellose, which is how some eye drop manufacturers seem to be referring to this. The word is clearly made up from CARboxy MEthy ceLuLOSE Potkettle (talk) 13:43, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Redirect from cellulose gum
What does this have to do with Carboxymethyl cellulose? The linked article does not mention "cellulose gum". --68.101.219.116 (talk) 03:41, 25 March 2010 (UTC) Note: comment moved from talk page there — Hex    (❝  ?!  ❞)   21:21, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Usage in ice-packs
It seems that additional usage which is not listed is in ice packs. Haven't found a proper source yet.

Soluble??
It is soluble is the claim. ... Soluble in what? Not a word is written. To define something, one needs to use both inclusion (is a member of) and exclusion (is not a member of). This should be obvious.69.40.241.198 (talk) 02:32, 28 March 2011 (UTC) in water. Very soluble in fact. 76.195.144.116 (talk) 23:47, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

Enzymology
I apologize for not putting in citations just yet. I am busy right now, but will come back and put them in soon. (570ajk (talk) 21:29, 10 March 2012 (UTC))

Gut bacteria
Here's the study that found carboxymethyl cellulose caused bowel disease in mice: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nature14232.html Nature | Letter Dietary emulsifiers impact the mouse gut microbiota promoting colitis and metabolic syndrome Benoit Chassaing, Omry Koren, Julia K. Goodrich, Angela C. Poole, Shanthi Srinivasan, Ruth E. Ley & Andrew T. Gewirtz Nature (2015) doi:10.1038/nature14232 Published online 25 February 2015

Also an accompanying free-access news story in Nature: http://www.nature.com/news/food-preservatives-linked-to-obesity-and-gut-disease-1.16984 Food preservatives linked to obesity and gut disease. Mouse study suggests that emulsifiers alter gut bacteria, leading to the inflammatory bowel condition colitis.

 * Until there's more than a single primary source, an entire "Health and safety" section seems unwarranted, as per WP:MEDRS. The study itself says that"additional studies will be needed to determine if CMC, P80 and/or other emulsifiers impact human health..."

Here is one more study ("demonstrat[ing] the need for further study of the long-term impacts of this food additive on health") :

Shrimp Injections
There is a video floating around which suggests that seafood companies are injecting Tiger Shrimp with a substance labelled as "CMC" in order to increase volume, weight, and price. Here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQZoWgohz0Q

epitaxis segment
unreferenced and badly written. At least reference it, if not, please remove Yama Plos   talk  03:07, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

Presentation
This "Start-class" article does need rewriting to have some uniformity with other articles. It is tagged as needing to be in compliance with Wikipedia's Manual of Style.

There is a "Preparation" section (Production?) but not a "Chemistry and occurrence" or "Synthesis" section. There is no "History" section that could cover the FDA approval of the "E" number or possibly a "Safety" section. Otr500 (talk) 09:18, 27 October 2017 (UTC)


 * I agree that the article needs attention to grammar and presentation. Can you please point out the relevant parts of the MOS that mandate the sections you mention?  yoyo (talk) 22:02, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

CMC as the first word of every paragraph
Help, I'm not good enough at sentence structure to change the starts of the paragraphs into something that flows/looks better. Could someone who's better at sentence-rearranging fix that at some point?
