Plastics and Your Health

Our food is wrapped in plastic.  Our water sometimes flows through plastic PVC pipes.  We are inundated with plastics.  Can this affect our health?

The negative impacts of plastic on human health are increasingly visible and increasingly costly. This March, the New England Journal of Medicine released the results of a study detecting micro- and nanoplastics in the carotid artery plaque of 58% of patients.  They found that it measurably increased the risk of heart attack, stroke, and all-cause mortality in those patients. What does this mean for us?
