1008 a Randomized Controlled-Feeding Study of the Impact of the Synthetic Dietary Emulsifier Carboxymethylcellulose on Human Health and Intestinal Microbiota

A review of the impact of xenobiotics from dietary sources on infant health: Early life exposures and the role of the microbiota

“…Although these results are novel, the high interindividual variability and a low number of participants could require further confirmation (Chassaing et al, 2020) To our knowledge, there is no evidence on the possible impact of maternal intake of emulsifiers on fetal and infant health and vertical microbiota transference in humans. Still, it is plausible that the effects of food emulsifiers on maternal microbiota and chronic low-grade inflammation could transfer specific signatures to newborns (Fink et al, 2019).…”
