Microplastics increase your risk of heart attack and death by 350%. (Wait for it...)

Link: staycuriousmetabolism.substack.com/p/microplastics…

In a landmark study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, researchers examined arterial plaques from 257 patients. 

They found that 58.4% of these patients had microplastics embedded directly inside their arterial plaque.
The consequences were massive.

Those with plastic in their arteries had a 350% higher risk of cardiovascular death, stroke, or heart attack.

The pathology suggests that jagged plastic particles irritate immune cells (macrophages) inside the artery, creating a "hostile" inflammatory environment that makes plaque more likely to rupture.

P.S. I dad acquire an actual heart for demonstration purposes… although I thought I’d get in trouble for stealing a human heart from the lab… so we have a cow heart.

So is the rec probiotics and fermented foods? I swear everything is a “subscribe to see more”.

Apparently there are microbes in kimchi that deal with the micro plastics. I still researching that though.

I believe I read that sulforaphane helps remove them, including from the brain?

I have a hypothesis that the more recyclable a plastic container is, the more microplastic particles it produces. Anyone know if that's true? Should we be using more durable plastics? Should we at least use durable plastics for foods on supermarket shelves that don't sell if they aren't in clear plastic? (like raw meats)

Microplastics is in EVERYTHING. no food is safe. Not even seeds grown in your own garden.

This is dreadful science communication… there is no study available that can inform on risk and stating such is wildly inaccurate if not down right lying. This study states that microplastic concentration in these tissues is associated with a 350% increased incidence rate of heart attacks. This says nothing about risk and nor can it

Interesting, thanks for sharing your insights. If it’s about jaggedness/sharpness, does the same caution apply for silicone materials? I’m thinking of spatulas, gaskets, etc.

What’s your percentage if you already had 2 heart attacks? Asking for a friend.

They poison all our food for profit. The school lunches are a breeding ground for diabetes and other chronic diseases. Then you have hospital complex waiting to finish the job with stress, financial bankruptcy, or if you lucky, get dumped by a hospital with fluid in your lungs and a black toe. What a sick country we are.

Dr Sabien Donnai was on ZOE the other day and it was unequivocally the most dire episode so far.
