A Food Emulsifiers & Good Gut Flora

Reminders that Make a Difference

Hashtag #AMCoffee

We’ve been learning a lot in our AM Coffee conversations and interactions that gut flora, also known as Good Gut Bacterial or Gut Microbiota, are a must for a healthy living.
Gut gut bacteria is a prerequisite for our stronger immune system, good digestion, overall energy during the day. It is so important that its role in maintaining a healthy weight is one of the top priorities for you and me.

You see, those good bugs are sitting inside our intestines and produce the bi-products and interaction with our bodily systems via a unique mucus layer between the intestinal layer of epithelial cells and the bugs themselves. Any disruption of this Nature-given and optimally operated system could and would lead to changes in our body.

Such changes could be expressed in diseases better known as Metabolic Syndrome, that includes obesity, heart diseases, hypertension, and insulin resistance.
Here’s one more fact to add to our knowledge: Dietary Emulsifiers impact gut bacteria in a negative way. How?

The scientists tested it in mice and the results showed that dietary emulsifiers promote colitis and metabolic syndrome deadly quartet (look above). Not a very positive outcome indeed.
If you read Ingredients lists on the foods you buy, you probably remember seeing one of the ingredients listed as “Emulsifiers.” Those food grade emulsifiers caused quite a disturbance in the health of mice:

– Induced low-grade inflammation and Obesity/metabolic syndrome
– Promoted colitis
– Altered species composition
– Increased pro-inflammatory potential

That is HORRIBLE! And DANGEROUS.

Imagine consuming products –  mostly processed, that’s where they put emulsifiers, – that you may be consuming on the daily basis.

With time, accumulation and disruption of your good gut bacteria could be to point at as the cause for many negative changes your body and health is going through.

Have you read the Ingredients List on purchased foods lately?
