Common food additive harms our gut bacteria

thread
The New Atlas published an article June 28 2020 about a food additive called titanium dioxide or E171, that is found to be toxic based on research by the University of Massachusetts Amherst. It turns out that the smaller nanoparticle version of this food additive with less than 100 nm in diameter may be more bioactive and more toxic, according to a study of their effects on mice.

The article acknowledges that the UMASS study of mice may or may not directly apply to humans. However, it suggests that the larger particles of titanium dioxide used as additives in food are safer. This is one of a number of studies that point toward this same result.
