Microplastics Found in Food, Bodies, and Livers: A Growing Health Concern

A comprehensive review of 103 studies reveals that everyday use of plastic food packaging, including opening bottles and using plastic containers, releases microplastics into food, with reusable plastics shedding more particles over time. Microplastics are widespread in the environment and human bodies, raising concerns about potential health impacts, though more research is needed. The study emphasizes the need to reduce plastic use in food packaging and preparation to limit human exposure.
