According to a new study, food grade nanoparticles, which are frequently used in food goods as coloring or anti-caking chemicals, may be detrimental to the microbiome and function of the intestine. The study concentrated on four nanoparticles, including zinc and iron oxide, which are frequently found in dietary supplements, as well as silicon dioxide and titanium dioxide, both of which are utilized extensively in the food sector. The impacts of these nanoparticles on the bowel and microbiome were examined using embryonic chicken models by the researchers, who also recognized the short-term study’s limitations. The researchers stated that additional research is required to evaluate the long-term consequences of these nanoparticles on human health, even though the study demonstrated that prolonged use of titanium dioxide can have negative health impacts.
