NANOPARTICLES IN FOOD

Engineered Particles Are Entering Your Cells.

Titanium dioxide (E171), silica (E551), and other engineered nanoparticles are added to processed foods as whiteners and anti-caking agents. They cross the gut barrier, accumulate in organs, and trigger inflammatory and genotoxic responses.
