Microplastics and nanoplastics (even smaller plastic particles) are everywhere. And they’re killing us!
Nanoplastics can penetrate barriers and accumulate in tissues and organs. This causes inflammation, oxidative stress, endocrine disruption, and potentially hormone dysfunction. Some studies even suggest that microplastics increase the risk of heart attack and stroke.
In this Daily Dose, Dr. Mitch Ghen explores nanoplastics, what they are, the impact they can have on health, and how you can reduce exposure.
