Antioxidants in fruits and flowers seem to counteract harmful effects of microplastics, study shows
Briefly

Research indicates that anthocyanins, antioxidants found in many fruits and vegetables, may protect against the reproductive toxicity caused by microplastics. These tiny plastic particles, which permeate the environment and human body, are linked to severe health issues, including hormonal disruptions and decreased fertility in both men and women. The study highlights the protective properties of anthocyanins against a range of harmful effects associated with microplastic exposure, suggesting they could play a key role in developing treatments for fertility issues in the future.
Antioxidants like anthocyanins may counteract reproductive toxicity linked to microplastics, showing promise for future treatments to mitigate fertility issues.
Microplastics pose serious reproductive health risks including hormonal disruptions and decreased fertility, presence of anthocyanins in diet could provide protective benefits.
