One Spoon of Plastic in Your Brain? Why This Is No Sci-Fi – And What You Can Do About It

Drinking water is essential to our health. But did you know that plastic particles are now being detected in the human brain? This shocking discovery is not science fiction – it’s science. How does plastic get into our body? We ingest micro- and nanoplastics daily through food, air, and especially drinking water. Bottled water, in particular, is a major contributor. A 2024 study by Columbia University found that a single liter of bottled water can contain up to 240,000 plastic particles, most of them nanoplastics invisible to the eye. Because nanoplastics are smaller than 100 nanometers, they can pass through cellular membranes and reach vital organs – including the brain. What

Plastic in Breast Milk – Are Infants Being Exposed from Birth?

Microplastics Detected in Breast Milk A shocking discovery has raised concerns about early-life exposure to plastic pollution. A 2022 study from the University of Rome found microplastics in breast milk samples from 75% of tested mothers. This means newborns, at their most vulnerable stage of development, may be ingesting plastic particles within their first months of life.

Plastic in Our Organs – Where Do Microplastics End Up?

Traces of Plastic in Vital Organs Scientists have now detected microplastics in the liver, kidneys, lungs, and even the heart. A 2022 study from the University of Arizona examined post-mortem tissue samples and found microplastics in every organ tested. This suggests that plastic exposure is not just a temporary issue—these particles may accumulate in the body over time.
