Consuming emulsifiers, commonly found in ultra-processed foods, during pregnancy or breastfeeding may lead to mild metabolic, cognitive, and psychological impairments in offspring, according to a study conducted on mice. The research highlights the impact of emulsifier consumption on the development of neural circuits in the hypothalamus, which plays a crucial role in metabolism. The study emphasizes the need for increased awareness among mothers about the potential risks associated with consuming ultra-processed foods, including certain vegetarian and vegan products that contain emulsifiers. Further research is required to fully understand the effects of emulsifier consumption on offspring health.
