Emulsifiers during gestation: The risks of ultra-processed food revealed in mice.

[en] Several dietary components disrupt the control of energy balance. A new study in PLOS Biology shows that, in mice, maternal consumption of emulsifiers induces a rewiring of the hypothalamic feeding circuits and causes neuropsychological impairment in the offspring.
