IDK what my fave emulsifier is yet.πŸ€”I want to try more #ingredients. Unfortunately, the leader right now is something I can't readily find anymore. #DIY #HowtoBeauty #skincare #emulsifier

My fave list, so far...
1. Emulsun (no, that's not a typo)
2. Glyceryl Stearate SE
3. Sucramerge Pro (Sucramulse Pro)

Emulsifiers are widely present in ultra-processed foods. A new #PLOSBiology study reveals that, in mice, maternal #emulsifier consumption during gestation and lactation leads to metabolic and neural impairments in the offspring. #metabolism #diet

Maternal emulsifier consumption programs offspring metabolic and neuropsychological health in mice

Maternal consumption of emulsifiers present in ultra-processed food items has been linked to altered gut function and metabolism in their progeny. This study reveals that maternal emulsifier consumption during gestation and lactation lead to metabolic, cognitive and psychological malprogramming in the offspring.

This is interesting. Not least because the words #emulsifier and #ultraprocessed don't appear at all.

I can think of one reason why a company that makes a living by substituting fat, salt and sugar with starch, calcium lactate/citrate and acesulfame might want to call for higher taxes on more conventional ingredients. What I can't work out is why the Guardian has chosen not to mention it.

In the meantime, this wheeze might best be served with a bucketful of salt.

Kids are naturally inclined to learn, they just need the time and space to follow their curiosity.

Tonight at dinner, emulsifiers came up as a topic of discussion. 7 yo provided a definition, clearly knew what they are. She learned about them on her own, from a book or podcast.
