Have you ever tried checking what’s hiding inside your health supplement softgel? There is a high chance that alongside potent ingredients, present are some harmful substances that must be avoided. What are you waiting for? Go and check the label on your health supplement! Do you see emulsifiers listed there? There you go! Do you know that emulsifiers are harmful to you?
Through this blog post, we’ll help you learn more about what is an emulsifier and how it can affect your health. You'll also discover how Wellness Extract is committed to offering emulsifier-free dietary supplements.
What is an Emulsifier?
Emulsifiers are substances used to blend two ingredients that are not usually mixable. For instance, oil and water do not mix together. Emulsifiers help mix such substances, and the process of mixing them is known as emulsion.
Emulsifiers are commonly used in processed foods such as ice cream, chocolates, mayonnaise, and cookies, as well as in health care products like lotions, moisturizers, and even supplements.
Without an emulsifier, these products will not have the same consistency or texture and a low shelf life.
Are Emulsifiers Bad For You?
Although emulsifiers are FDA approved and are generally considered safe, they could have a negative impact on your health. Various research studies have shown the safety risk of overconsumption of food emulsifiers. Research has also associated emulsifiers to bowel diseases, disturbed gut health, gut inflammation, food allergy and even risk of cancer. The food emulsifiers have even been considered as an emerging safety risk by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).
What’s the Proof?
Microbiota are the microorganisms in your gut that aid intestinal processes and digestion and improve gut health. There are trillions of them in the gut, and some of them are potentially harmful. The good ones help produce crucial vitamins and amino acids and reduce the adverse effects of toxic substances in the gut. The healthy ones outnumber the bad ones and maintain a balance.
A study conducted in 2021 shows that food emulsifiers can promote intestinal inflammation and alter gut microbiota, negatively impacting gut health.
Another research links emulsifier consumption with an increased risk of cancer. The study was performed on 102,485 French adults of average age 42 years, including 78.8 % females. The results show 3511 cancer cases with 1,026 breast, 431 prostate, 279 colorectal cancers.
One more study shows the effects of two food emulsifiers CMC and Polysorbate-80 (P80). The study was conducted in 2022 on mice. After the consumption of emulsifiers for 12 weeks, the mice were exposed to an allergen. The mice showed severe allergic reactions, including lower body temperature, diarrhea and high levels of allergy-related antibodies, concluding that food emulsifiers can worsen food allergy.
