Pesticides Disrupt Gut Bacteria Linked to Inflammation

08 Sep 2025

Description

Common pesticides don't just kill pests — they disrupt how your gut bacteria function, leading to inflammation, metabolic stress, and immune imbalance Even small amounts of pesticides in food or water damage your microbiome, blocking the production of protective compounds like butyrate that keep your gut lining intact Research shows that some gut bacteria absorb and store pesticides, turning into toxic reservoirs that trigger long-term inflammation throughout your body Damaged gut bacteria have been linked to higher rates of autoimmune conditions like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, especially in people with repeated exposure You can protect your gut by choosing organic foods, filtering your water, sweating out toxins, and supporting regenerative farms that don't rely on harmful chemicals
