"Alarming Study Reveals Microplastics in 90% of Meat and Plant-Based Foods"
TL;DR Summary
A new study reveals that nearly 90% of various protein sources, including both meat and plant-based alternatives, contain microplastics, with 44% being microplastic fibers. The research, conducted in the US, suggests that humans are likely consuming microplastics regardless of their diet. The study highlights the pervasive nature of plastic pollution and the need for further research to understand its origins and potential health impacts. Additionally, a separate study found that bottled water contains 100 times more nanoplastics than previously believed, raising concerns about their potential health effects.
