A new study confirms microplastics from plastic food packaging enter our bodies through daily handling and consumption, posing serious health risks. These microplastics bypass digestion, accumulating in organs like the brain and liver, increasing disease risk. Activities like opening plastic bottles and washing containers raise contamination. Processed foods have more microplastics than fresh ones. To reduce exposure, use glass or stainless steel, avoid heating plastics, and choose fresh, unpackaged foods.
