It being natural doesn't mean anything, though. Plenty of naturally dangerous things out there...
this is not one of them. Xanthan gum is a food additive created by a sugar that’s fermented by a bacteria. It’s a soluble fiber and commonly used to thicken or stabilize foods.

the inverse is true as well so its kinda moot
