The Role of Food Nutrients in Reducing Oxidative Stress Linked to Microplastics

Microplastics and nanoplastics are now found in food, water, and air, and research suggests they accumulate in organs such as the liver, pancreas, kidneys, and brain. Laboratory and animal studies indicate they may contribute to oxidative stress, inflammation, and insulin resistance in these areas The same biological changes linked to microplastic exposure are also associated with Type 2 diabetes,…
