Summary

Researchers investigated associations between plastic bottle use and infant gut health, examining whether exposure influences early fecal microbiota composition, short-chain fatty acid levels, and growth trajectories in infants.

Plastic bottle exposure may impact early infant gut microbiota and microbial SCFAs, which may in turn affect growth.
