Is there an ELI5?

Alcohol ephoxylate, which is present in rinse aid and some dishwasher pods,damages gut tissue and causes inflammatory and immune issues.

The study looked at concentrations found in "professional" (restaurant) doses of the chemicals.

I'm not sure how much it applies to residential dishwashers. I did find that ingredient in my rinse aid and dishwasher pods.

The stuff restaurants use to wash dishes is really bad for your tummy and very often that stuff is still on the dishes, while you're eating off of them.
