Plastic Fragments Discovered in Human Hearts: Study

According to a new study, plastic fragments have been discovered in the human heart.

Microwaving Plastic Food Containers Leaches Microplastics into Food, Drinks: Study

A new scientific study has discovered that microwaving plastic food containers and pouches causes microplastics and nanoplastics to migrate from the containers into the food and drinks.

Food Additive Nanoparticles Titanium Dioxide, Silicone Dioxide may Harm Your Gut, say More Scientists

The results of a new scientific study have revealed that two commonly used food additives known as metal oxide nanoparticles–in particular, titanium dioxide and silicone dioxide–can have negative effects on your gut health.

Chemical Additives in Processed Food Cross the Placenta, Damage Babies’ Immune System, say scientists

A new warning from scientists about food additives: Billions of nanoparticle food additives can reach infants, even crossing the placenta during pregnancy. These chemical food additives can change the baby’s gut microbiome and damage gut cells. This phenomenon, researchers believe, likely raises allergy and immune disorder risk.

Skittles Lawsuit: Toxin Titanium Dioxide

Over the years we have published a number of studies linking the food additive titanium dioxide to a number of serious health consequences. Now a consumer has filed a lawsuit against Mars, Inc. arguing their candy “Skittles” are unfit to eat because they contain a known toxin (yes…titanium dioxide) that the company had pledged six years ago to phase out.

Food Dye Titanium Dioxide Declared Unsafe by Europe

In May 2021 the European Food Safety Association (EFSA) announced that food dye additive “titanium dioxide” (aka the “white” nanoparticle food coloring *) is no longer considered safe when used as a food additive.

Toxic Silver Nanoparticles can Leach from Packaging into Food, say Scientists

Researchers have demonstrated that silver embedded in an antimicrobial plastic food packaging can leave the material and form nanoparticles in foods and beverages, particularly in sweet and sugary ones.
