Microplastics and Health

Microplastics are increasingly found in everyday items like bottled water and table salt, raising concerns about their ingestion and potential health effects. With over 40,000 types of plastic, the risks vary, but additives like BPA, a synthetic estrogen, have been linked to significant hormonal disruptions. Recent studies even show microplastics in human stool, highlighting the urgent need to understand their impact on our bodies.
