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- […]
Nanoparticles Found in Many Foods Could Wreak Havoc with Your Gut Microbiome
Rob Verkerk If anyone tried to convince you that size isn’t important, let them know that sometimes it is. Especially when it comes to the size of things we consume or inject into our bodies. Remember the lipid nanoparticles used to carry mRNA “vaccine” cargo into our cells? Well, it turns out that some metal […]
International Standards for Trade in Nano-coated Produce?
Steve Suppan Nanotechnology-based food and health products and food packaging materials are available to consumers in some countries already, and additional products and applications are currently in the research and development stage, and some may reach the market soon. … According to the WHO/FAO expert panel, it is “progress” that agri-nanotechnology products are on the […]
Eating Nano: Our Food Supply is Not Nearly As Safe As We Would Like to Believe …
Brita Belli … Unbeknownst to just about everyone, nanoparticles made a quiet entrance into the nation’s food supply at least a decade ago. Nanoparticles are materials that are microscopic—significantly smaller than a red blood cell; and tens of thousands of times smaller than the width of a human hair. These particles can help deliver nutrients, […]
Knife, Fork … And Nanoparticles?
Gwyneth K. Shaw Wondering whether your anti-stink workout clothes are sending nanosilver into the environment? Turns out that you should take a look at other silver ob- jects you might be wearing or using as a potential source for sloughing off ultra-tiny bits, too. A new study showing that large-scale silver objects can essentially shed […]

Can Toxic Substances be Mandated?
Outraged Human GRAPHENE FAMILY NANOPARTICLES can be delivered into bodies by intratracheal instillation, oral administration, intravenous injection, intraperitoneal injection and subcutaneous injection. GFNs can induce acute and chronic injuries in tissues by penetrating through the blood-air barrier, blood-testis barrier, blood-brain barrier, and blood-placenta barrier etc. and accumulating in the lung, liver, and spleen etc. For […]
Toxcity of Graphene-family Nanoparticles: A General Review of the Origins and Mechanisms
Lingling Ou et al. Due to their unique physicochemical properties, graphene-family nanomaterials (GFNs) are widely used in many fields, especially in biomedical applications. Currently, many studies have investigated the biocompatibility and toxicity of GFNs in vivo and in intro. Generally, GFNs may exert different degrees of toxicity in animals or cell models by following with […]
