"Cat's-eye View: A Delightful World Through a Feline's First-Person Camera"

TL;DR Summary
A study by Columbia University researchers found hundreds of thousands of nanoplastics in popular bottled water brands, raising concerns about potential health impacts. Nanoplastics, too small to be seen by microscope, can invade human cells and disrupt cellular processes. While the exact health effects are still unknown, previous research has shown adverse effects of microplastic exposure on cell viability. The presence of diverse types of plastics in bottled water, likely from the bottling process and packaging, adds to environmental reasons for choosing tap water over bottled water.
