Emulsifiers and health

Emulsifiers seem to be a common ingredient in processed foods. I've heard in-vitro studies claim that they may damage the layers of the GIT. What is the latest evidence on their effects on health, if any?

"Causal" Risk Factor

In SNP16 Alan uses the term "causal risk factor" a couple of times. Knowing how precise you guys are with language, inclusion of "causal" has got to be deliberate here. Can you please enlighten a newbie as to what specifically a "causal" risk factor is, and how that differs from other nutritional risk factors, if at all? Thanks.

Shifting perspectives

This is a two part question: 1) Are there any things that you've changed your mind about or had your position shift significantly on in the last year or two? Not even necessarily a reversal of position, but a significant change in credence on a topic would qualify. 2) Do you have any predictions about things you might change your mind about in the next year or two? Like, is there a perspective that you currently hold (and currently think is most likely), but where you expect certain evidence might emerge in the next year that would shift it significantly? Thanks as always for the amazing work you guys do.
