The Hidden Impact of Food Additives on Your Gut Microbiome
Explore the hidden world of food additives and their effects on your gut and overall health. From the preservatives in processed meats to the artificial sweeteners in your favorite diet drinks, I explore how these common additives could be altering your gut microbiome in ways you never expected. Discover the potential risks, overhyped dangers and better alternatives, as I unpack research on preservatives, sweeteners, emulsifiers and pesticides.
