Our world is drowning in plastic, and the alarming truth is that these materials are laced with over 10,000 chemicals, including known carcinogens and endocrine disruptors. With plastics infiltrating every corner of our lives, even entering our food chain, scientists are now finding these microscopic particles within our own bodies—specifically, in our liver, kidneys, intestines, and brain.

While we suspect microplastics are harming our health, the full extent of their impact remains an enigma. Evidence suggests they damage cellular DNA and may be linked to conditions ranging from inflammation to cardiovascular issues. Shockingly, there are now an estimated six billion tons of plastic polluting our planet, and that number is projected to skyrocket to over one billion tons annually by 2060.
