Microplastics Peril: They’re lurking in our food, creating A Health danger
Douglas McIntyre, editor-in-chief of Climate Crisis 24/7, discusses a study highlighting how microplastics enter the human diet, including plant-based foods. Microplastics, pervasive across the environment, may pose risks to human health, such as heart disease and neurological issues, though much of the evidence is based on animal studies. McIntyre emphasizes the widespread presence of microplastics, from ocean depths to forests, and their potential long-term consequences for health and ecosystems.
