加工食品中常见的食品添加剂与较高的儿童哮喘风险相关联。 Common food additives in processed foods linked to higher childhood asthma risk.

一项新的研究将超加工食品中的常见食品添加剂——如甜食、色素和防腐剂——与增加的儿童哮喘风险联系起来。 A new study links common food additives in ultra-processed foods—like sweeteners, colorants, and preservatives—to increased childhood asthma risk. 研究人员发现,与无哮喘儿童相比,哮喘儿童中脱氢乙酸和苯并酸的血液含量较高。 Researchers found higher blood levels of dehydroacetic acid and benzoic acid in asthmatic children compared to those without asthma. 这些添加剂广泛用于儿童食物,可能会破坏免疫和代谢功能,可能损害免疫耐受力。 These additives, widely used in children’s foods, may disrupt immune and metabolic functions, potentially impairing immune tolerance. 某些食品添加剂可能助长哮喘发育或严重性, 特别是早期或频繁接触时。 While the study doesn’t prove causation, it adds to evidence that certain food additives may contribute to asthma development or severity, especially with early or frequent exposure.
