Microplastics Are the Missing Link in Chronic Disease - AI Podcast
Story at-a-glance Research links microplastic exposure to chronic diseases like high blood pressure, stroke, and diabetes, ranking among the top 10 predictors of these conditions Communities with higher microplastic levels experienced significantly more chronic diseases, with risk steadily increasing alongside higher plastic concentrations A study found microplastics embedded in artery plaque, and affected patients were over four times more likely to experience heart attacks, strokes or death Plastic particles trigger inflammation and immune responses when lodged in tissues, raising disease risk even in people without conventional risk factors Effective ways to reduce exposure include filtering your drinking water, avoiding plastic food packaging, using glass containers, choosing natural fiber clothing and considering natural progesterone supplementation to address related hormone disruption
