Dr Mercola warned, 'Many common kitchen items that you use every day either contain or release microplastics during food preparation and consumption.' This highlights the pervasive danger in our kitchens.
Research suggests that, once you ingest or inhale microplastics, they can accumulate in your tissues producing chronic inflammation and an elevated risk of heart attacks and strokes.
Dr Mercola emphasized, 'Microplastics represent a significant long-term danger to your health because they contain endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that mimic estrogen and have been linked to infertility and hormone-driven cancers.'
He advises swapping to a wooden chop board to keep hormone-disrupting microplastics from seeping into meat and vegetables, and to opt for loose grounds and spices to minimize plastic ingestion.
