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

Considering that the majority of the studies are animal studies we can rule out vaxx issues.
It’s likely both the vaccine and microplastics. There is a disease called plasticosis which was first seen in sea birds.
The whole microplastics issue is a much more dire emergency than is “climate change”. Those little bits of plastic are getting into animals all over the world, including people, and can eventually kill if the animal has too much of them.
My packaging professor did a lot of research into sustainable packaging (which is the source of most microplastic pollution). The problem is even if you make a biodegradable plastic it usually costs more and company managers don’t want to spend even a penny more to package their products.
There are solutions:

I’ve been using the same plastic cutting boards and the same plastic Tupperware for decades. I’m not convinced of the new Gen Z “micro plastic” fear. Any of this cancer in purebloods?

Polyhydroxyalkanoate clothing is a solution.
Interesting because I started reading about PHA’s in grad school (just out of nerdy interest). That’s been thirty years ago. Now these plastics are finally being marketed.
True, and lots of microplastics are much smaller than 5 mm even in their longest dimension. I was just amused by the thought of people deliberately swallowing easily-detected pieces.
Ohai we think the increase in cancer is related to the thing we’ve been propagandizing against this year and since you won’t believe it’s from climate change we’ll say it’s plastics… yaaasssss…
the normalization of butt sex.
a study funded by Big Pharma?
“here’s the cash you demanded for the outcome we demanded”
Maybe they mean microns, not millimeters. 1 micron is 1000 millimeters.
Microplastics are between 1 μm and 1,000 μm (1 micrometer = 0.001 mm). Visibly recognizable larger pieces are what accumulate along shorelines and in reservoirs, etc. not the ones causing human or animal disease.
I got that backwards. 1000 microns = 1 millimeter.
Smokescreening bastards. Anyone with any discernment knows exactly what caused it. Go vax yerself.
There should be no hesitation to investigate the tentacles of Rockefeller Medicine.
It seems the elite have found significant value in the ability to induce cancer in targeted individuals.
Boy does this study kinda suck.

THE STUDIES WERE CONDUCTED ON MICE AND RATS for the most part.
The sample sizes are small (between 20-40 in many cases).
The human studies involved between 40-80 people.
Most of these studies happened during the pandemic - who the heck was going in to the lab?
Shite.
FAUCI
No, if you look at some of the posts, it HAS to be due to the COVID-19 vaxx, because in the words of some people “its’s the vaxx unless proven otherwise”.

My unsolicited opinion: microplastics leaching from the water bottles we consume in large volumes.
That’s what I was thinking, 5mm pieces of plastic are not invisible, and floating around in the air, or in your water.
Pretty much blows the credibility of the entire article.
All well and good but how do we cleanse microplastics from our body?
