Certain food additives may interfere with your gut bacteria, causing changes that boost inflammation in the intestines and potentially promote the development of some chronic diseases, a new study suggests.

In the study, researchers looked at ingredients called emulsifiers, which are added to many processed foods, including ice cream and peanut butter, to improve those foods' texture and extend their shelf life.

Emulsifiers are listed on ingredient labels, but the additives go by many different names, Chassaing said. This makes it hard to avoid emulsifiers simply by reading food labels. The best way to keep from eating emulsifiers is to avoid processed food, he said.

國際新聞導讀:

這篇新的研究告訴我們,
許多的加工食品為了增加口感和保存期限,
會加有許多的添加劑, 例如: 乳化劑 ( emulsifiers ),
長期食用會造成我們的腸子發炎, 干擾體內好菌發揮作用,
進而造成慢性病。
下次去賣場買東西時, 不妨留意, 那些東西含有乳化劑 ( emulsifiers ),
這是個有趣的實驗。
