Plastic in Your Bloodstream — The 2024 NEJM Study That Alarmed Researchers

How Microplastics Enter and Accumulate in the Human Body

“We are eating, drinking, and breathing plastic — and it is accumulating in our arteries, brains, and organs. The 2024 NEJM study was a wake-up call that microplastic burden is an active cardiovascular and aging risk factor.”
