I have written about the prevalence of plastic compounds in our food and environment several times before, but at the time, the hard evidence for actual harm to human health caused by them was not extensively researched.
But now, several scientific studies have conclusively proved that microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPLs) both have significant negative impacts on our well-being, and they may in fact constitute one of the biggest threats to our health in the not-too-distant future, especially as our food and environment become more and more congested and infested with MNPLs.
