Nanoplastics have diet-dependent impacts on digestive system health

PRESS RELEASE - A team of researchers from INRAE, CNRS, and the University of Lille studied how low dietary doses of nanoplastics affected mice. More specifically, mice received one of three doses in their drinking water while consuming either a standard or a "Western-style" diet (high fat + high sugar). Recently published in Environmental Science: Nano, the study’s results show that exposure to low doses of nanoplastics can alter gut barrier in…
