What the research says
Grouped with DATEM as bread emulsifiers similar in structure to biological membrane lipids, with the same suspected mechanism of inserting into cell membranes and damaging the gut barrier. Implicated in the broader emulsifier-microbiome-IBD-metabolic-syndrome cascade described in the Chassaing Nature work.
