Research Finds That Pesticides Disrupt Inflammation-Linked Bacteria
Existing scientific information shows that pesticides are toxic to the microorganisms in the gut, and a new preclinical study has mapped the specific impacts that compounds in pesticides have on microbes in the human digestive system. One surprising finding emerged regarding how these pesticide compounds affect the inflammatory system in the body. The Ohio State University team of researchers conducted an analysis aimed at establishing the specific ways in which different active ingredients in pesticides impact the ways in which bacteria in the gut grow and how the affected bacteria alter the ways in which nutrients are processed in the…
