Consumption of this common food ingredient is linked to intestinal damage and risk of obesity in offspring

Maternal exposure to emulsifiers may reshape the offspring’s microbiota and increase the risk of inflammation. A team of researchers from the Institut Pasteur and Inserm showed through a study in mice that when mothers consume food emulsifiers, this can negatively affect the intestinal microbiota of their offspring. These disruptions to the microbiota are thought to significantly increase the likelihood of […]
