A health study published in PLOS Medicine suggests that combinations of common food additives may gradually raise the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. Researchers from Université Sorbonne Paris Nord and the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research analyzed data from more than 108,000 French adults in the NutriNet-Santé study, a long-running project examining how diet affects health. The findings indicate that mixes of additives—more common in today’s diets—could carry greater potential health risks than single additives alone.

A recent study published in PLOS Medicine suggests that consuming combinations of common food additives could incrementally increase the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. Conducted by researchers from Université Sorbonne Paris Nord and the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research, the study analyzed data from over 108,000 French adults who participated in the NutriNet-Santé study. This longstanding research initiative explores various food-health connections. The findings highlight that while individual additives have been tied to several health issues previously, this research points to the potentially heightened risk posed by mixtures more commonly found in today’s diets.
