“‼️More than 10,000 chemicals are present in plastics, including carcinogens and endocrine disruptors.🙈 Plastics find their way into the human body in the form of tiny particles called microplastics” “MNPs enter the body mainly through ingestion or inhalation. For example, one might ingest MNPs by drinking liquid or eating food that has been stored or heated in plastic containers from which MNPs have leached, or by using toothpaste containing MNPs. One startling study found that infants may be exposed to high levels of microplastics by ingesting formula prepared in propylene feeding bottles3.” (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-024-02968-xref- CR2) ❌Enough said, right?
