Many foods widely considered to be ‘healthy’ are actually teeming with microplastics that have been linked to cancer, DNA damage and other health issues.
Microplastics are tiny pieces of plastic less than five millimeters long, or smaller than a pencil eraser.
They can be found in almost everything, including our air, water, soil and the food we eat.
When people inevitably come in contact with them, they work their way into the body and cause damage.
Certain foods contain higher amounts of microplastics than others, typically because they are highly processed, stored in plastic containers or because the environment they’re sourced from is highly contaminated.
But some of the biggest culprits may be surprising, as they are generally praised as healthy foods.
Carrots, apples and salads all made the list, even though these are considered staples of a nutritious diet.
While it would be nearly impossible to completely remove microplastics from your diet, there are swaps you can make to help reduce your intake.
I pretty much have realized that everything once wholesome and good is now poisoned. Everything is genetically modified, enriched, and grow in water polluted or pumped with chemicals. You cannot even buy seeds that are not genetically modified anymore. No wonder everyone is sick.
