Plastic Found Inside More Than 50% of Plaques From Clogged Arteries

"Plastics are now everywhere, with tiny fragments found in several major organs of the human body, including the placenta.

Given how easily the microscopic particles infiltrate our tissues, it's vital that we learn exactly what kinds of risks they could pose to our health....

Now, a small study in Italy has found shards of microplastics in fatty deposits surgically removed from patients who had an operation to open up their clogged arteries – and reported their health outcomes nearly 3 years later.....

Following 257 patients for 34 months, the researchers found nearly 60 percent of them had measurable amounts of polyethylene in plaques pulled from their fat-thickened arteries, and 12 percent also had polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in extracted fat deposits."

But but plastic is cheap....

And a huge threat to all life

I just got home from the supermarket. I walk the half mile each way because I could always use some more exercise. I have a heavy duty foldable tote bag with a shoulder strap that I bought from Amazon. It is a small thing, but I do not use the disposable plastic bags at checkout. If we all did small things we might find that we can do away with almost all disposable plastic. And that is the problem The disposable crap that we all buy. Use it once and throw it away.
