Chapters

Microplastics have been found in every single organ in our bodies now, including the brain, including blood, including placenta, the babies. And what's even more frightening is they've quantified it in the brain. And the brain levels of microplastics have increased 50% over the last eight years. Oh, my gosh. And they found more in only from 2016 to 2024. And they found more microplastics in the brains of those with dementia. The number one microplastic that they're finding in the brain is polyethylene. And it just kind of. I mean, it is the most popular plastic use. We can't forget that, like, across the board.
