Microplastic toxicity is challenge in today's world.
Microplastics may be highlighted in epigenetic plans as Toxins or Chemicals associated with food adative markers.
Several food additives may be associated with microplastics due to their synthetic nature or their role in plastic production.
Here are some key markers that Cell Wellbeing Epigenetic Hair Mapping reveals in the extensive client report, which is back to the practitioner within 15 minutes of sending the mapped DNA securely to our laboratory in Germany:
Common Chemical Food Additives Linked to Microplastics
1.Anti-Caking Agents
Silicon Dioxide (E551) – Used to prevent clumping in powdered foods. It may contain nanoscale particles similar to those in plastics.
2.Emulsifiers & Stabilizers
Polysorbates (E432–E436) – Found in processed foods and linked to gut microbiome disruption, possibly interacting with microplastics.
Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC, E466) – A thickener and stabilizer derived from cellulose, sometimes modified with synthetic chemicals.
3 Synthetic Antioxidants
Butylated Hydroxyanisole (BHA, E320) & Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT, E321) – Common preservatives in processed foods and plastic packaging, potentially contributing to microplastic contamination.
Tertiary Butylhydroquinone (TBHQ, E319) – Another preservative linked to plastic-derived compounds.
4..Plastic-Derived Compounds in Packaging
Bisphenols (e.g., BPA, BPS, BPF) – Found in plastic linings of food containers and cans, leaching into food and beverages.
Phthalates (DEP, DBP, DEHP, etc.) – Used to make plastics flexible; they can migrate into fatty and processed foods.
5..Colorants & Dyes
Titanium Dioxide (E171) – Used as a whitening agent in food and candy; some nanoparticles may behave like microplastics.
Azodyes (e.g., Tartrazine E102, Sunset Yellow E110, Allura Red E129) – Synthetic dyes sometimes linked to petroleum-based sources.
Many of these chemicals are also found in highly processed foods and plastic-packaged items, increasing the risk of microplastic exposure.
