The effect of air quality on human?s health has been extremely studied, nanoparticles in air can cause various diseases and even lead to death. However, the effect of non-digestible nanoparticles from food on physical and mental health has been seriously ignored, no report was seen in open literature. This paper uses silkworm as an experimental subject by feeding nanoparticles in food throughout their life, the results show that non-digestible nanoparticles can greatly change animal?s body morphology, behavior and longevity. This paper gives an unprecedented warning on food safety and drinking water.
