You’re consuming a credit card of plastic each week
When the microscopic plastic particles make their way into our digestive systems, they trigger an immune response and inflammation.
What’s more, growing evidence suggests that microplastics may also be directly involved in triggering “chemical pathways involved in the formation of cancer”.
A study referenced by the University of Vienna researchers states that drinking the recommended daily intake of water from plastic bottles will introduce 90,000 plastic particles a year into your body. Switching to tap water will cut that exposure, but only to 40,000.
The researchers note the dreadful Catch-22 position we now occupy. On the one hand, we know that microplastics are dangerous – although just how dangerous we’re not yet entirely sure. On the other, we know that we can’t live without plastics, at least not for the moment.
