Are microplastics really destroying our health?

VIDEO – DUH? –

Nov. 23, 2024 – Microplastics have been found throughout the human body, raising concerns about their potential impact on our health. Studies have shown correlations between their presence and health issues such as heart attacks and strokes … Efforts to mitigate microplastic pollution include banning certain plastic products, developing better recycling technologies, and working towards a UN agreement to end plastic pollution globally.

In 2022, scientists found microplastics — pieces of plastic less than five millimeters long — in human blood. Since then, they’ve been discovered throughout the human body, including in our lungs, kidneys, livers, hearts, and brains.

So, why do we have all this plastic in us, what does it mean for our health, and what can we do about it?
