Dysregulation along the Gut Microbiota-Immune System Axis after Oral Exposure to Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles: A Possible Environmental Factor Promoting Obesity-related Metabolic Disorders
Bruno Lamas, Lauris Evariste and Eric Houdeau Food additives are one major hallmark of ultra-processed food in the Western-diet, a food habit often associated with metabolic disorders. Among these additives, the whitener and opacifying agent titanium dioxide (TiO2) raises public health issues due to the ability of TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) to cross biological barriers and accu- […]
Plastic is Everywhere – Including in Your Brain
Joseph Mercola Discarded plastics make up 18.5% of land lls and 90% of all trash entering the world’s oceans. Estimates suggest that by 2050, our oceans will contain more plastic than sh by weight. In some ocean waters, plastic already exceeded plankton by a factor of 6-to-1 in 2006. Recent animal research found plastic particles […]
Fluoride is the New Lead
Fluoride Action Network The National Toxicology Program (NTP) report on the neurotoxicity of fluoride confirms what experts have long been suggesting: that fluoride is the new lead in its ability to lower IQ in children. Over the past five years, experts in toxicology and epidemiology have equated the harm to developing brains from fluoride to […]
Migration of Microplastics and Phthalates from Face Masks to Water
Giuseppina Zuri et al. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, face masks have been introduced in the complex strategy of infection prevention and control. Face masks consist of plastic polymers and additives such as phthalates. The aim of this study was to evaluate the migration of microplastics (MP) and phthalates from face masks to water. Four […]
Freshwater Fish Contain ‘Staggering’ Amount of Toxic PFAS Chemicals, Study Finds
Environmental Working Group A new study by Environmental Working Group (EWG), scientists find that consumption of just a single serving of freshwater sh per year could be equal to a month of drinking water laced with the “forever chemical” PFOS, or perfluorooctanesulfonic acid, at high levels that may be harmful. Researchers calculated that eating one […]
Peeling Back Apeel
Alliance For Natural Health There’s a new kid on the block that’s garnered a huge amount of attention recently after a datasheet (https://www.evansvanodine.co.uk/assets/eng_apeel.pdf), allegedly detailing the toxic nature of its new product to extend the lifespan of fruit and vegetables, went viral. Apeel Sciences is a US based company that’s partnered with the Gates Foundation […]
Fluoride Added to Drinking Water Contributes to Rising Rates of ADHD, Lower IQs in Kids
Joseph Mercola More than 400 animal and human studies show uoride is a neurotoxic substance, and many have found harm at, or precariously close to, the levels millions of American pregnant women and children receive. A 1 mg-per-day increase in the uoride a mother gets from drinking water may lower the IQ of her child […]
Assessing Plastic Ingestion from Nature to People
Dalberg for WWF A new study by the University of Newcastle, Australia suggests that an average person could be ingesting approximately 5 grams of plastic every week. The equivalent of a credit card’s worth of microplastics. This summary report highlights the key ways plastic gets into our body, and what we can do about it. […]
