The more processing a food has undergone the more plastic it contains.
Disturbingly, individuals with microplastics or nanoplastics in their carotid artery tissues were found to have fourfold higher risk of suffering a cardiovascular event such as heart attack or stroke over the next three years compared to those without such plastics.
Risks to fetuses and young infants - Research in pregnant mice has found plastic chemicals in the brain, heart, liver, kidney, and lungs of the developing fetus within 24 hours after the mother ingested or inhaled plastic particles.
Previous studies have also found microplastics in the human placenta12 and human breast milk13 - clear evidence that a mother's plastic exposure can be directly transferred to her child both before and after birth.
17 Choose alternatives to plastic packaging - Opt for products packaged in glass, metal, or paper instead of plastic.
Never microwave plastics - Heat can cause plastics to leach chemicals into food.
Opt for food grade cosmetics and personal care products - Some cosmetics, toothpastes, and personal care products contain microbeads or other plastic particles.
