A major scientific review may have found a possible cause of many of the cancers for which genetics, diet and lifestyle cannot explain.
After reviewing more than 3,000 studies on microplastics, researchers concluded that these tiny toxins are linked to lung and colon cancer, as well as other lung diseases and infertility.
That could be significant because, unlike dozens of cancers that are in decline, colon cancers are rising, especially among young people who are not normally at risk.
Likewise, lung cancers not caused by tobacco are also on the rise
Microplastics are pieces of plastic smaller than 5mm in diameter that are released by consumer goods like food containers, clothes toys, packaging, cigarette filters and tires.
They've contaminated the air we breathe, food we eat and water we drink and have been found in virtually every major human organ, where they cause widespread inflammation when the immune system recognizes it as a foreign invader.
This can cause a myriad of medical problems, including tissue damage and inflammation in the liver and heart, and over time, accumulation in the body can lead to irreversible damage.
The California researchers concluded exposure to microplastics is 'suspected' to play a role in colon cancer, ovarian function, sperm quality and respiratory diseases, including lung cancer.
Previous studies have even discovered the substances in people's brains and a woman's placenta and estimate exposure to microplastics costs the US healthcare system $289billion annually.
And with plastic production expected to triple by 2060, the UC researchers said: 'Due to ubiquitous exposure and bioaccumulative characteristics of microplastics, the extent of human health impacts due to microplastic exposure is of great concern.'
The review, published earlier this month in ACS Publications Environmental Science & Technology, analyzed approximately 3,000 animal and human studies that researched an association between microplastic expos

The effing covid vaccine!
Cauliphonya Cancer Warning Proposition 85.
“A major scientific review” means they just read some other people’s articles.

The microplastics probably react with the vaxx to cause the cancers.
Yeah, it’s totally “microplastics”, because we never had plastic water bottles or plastic restaurant to-go containers before 2020. But what did we actually not have before 2020? Hmmm. Something. I can’t quite put my finger on it. Something that enormous numbers of people were frightened or coerced into getting injected into their bodies. Something ineffective. Something untested. Something entirely unnecessary. What could it possibly be?
I like the way you think.
COVID J*B
I would like to buy in a Alex
Five millimeters doesn’t sound so “micro” to me. If I find a chunk of plastic nearly a quarter of an inch in a bite of food, I’ll spit it out, not swallow it.
Plastics are derived from the petro-chem industry.
Petroleum bad.
One should check out Steve Kirsch on substack and his exhaustive statistical analysis of the impacts of the jab.
In sum, ZERO benefit of any sort and the cause of at least 1.2 million deaths in the United States alone.
but all that is in the COVID vaccine ?
Little plastic fibers from clothing can be that long, but so thin as to be virtually invisible.
Microplastics... That may or may not be found in a pair of pampers?
Pampers came into major use in the 1970s, 1980s... And young people in their 40s are suddenly getting colon cancers??? Doh!
one more thing you can’t trust Scientists these days they’re bought and paid for
I knew there was a reason that every other news story was about microplastics. They’re blaming it on this instead of the “vax”.

Any studies on cellular phone signals?
Something that corresponds with the times probably more than plastics.
Just wondering.
