A hidden health crisis is unfolding inside people's bodies: Every year,
the average person consumes over 50,000 microscopic plastic particles.
A
study published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences back
in June revealed the extent of the damage caused by these microplastics
invisible to the naked eye. These microplastics are infiltrating our
organs, disrupting hormones and potentially causing irreversible damage
to fertility, metabolism and brain function.
Microplastics
are everywhere – in food, water and air. They stem from plastic waste
breaking down over time, synthetic clothing shedding fibers and everyday
products leaching chemicals.
Once ingested or inhaled, these
particles bypass the body's natural defenses, embedding themselves in
tissues and organs. Scientists have detected them in blood, breast milk
and even remote environments like Arctic ice, proving their pervasive
reach....<<<Read More>>>...
