Microplastics Trigger Dementia

Are microplastics the invisible villains impacting our health more than we realize?

In the past few years, there’s been a worrying surge in dementia cases in the U.S., with recent findings pointing fingers at microplastics from everyday items like plastic bags and food containers. Surprisingly, microplastics have been discovered in narrowed arteries and even in cancerous tissues, linked to inflammation and serious health risks.

What's more shocking is microplastics' impact on puberty rates, suggested to be influenced by xenoestrogens from plastics. These artificial estrogens are causing children to hit puberty far earlier than in the past, leading to profound long-term effects.

Consider this: so many daily items from tea bags to microwavable containers shed microplastics, unnoticed. Are these particles silently reshaping our biology? Explore diverse sources and gain a more complete picture of this quiet peril.
