A small but attention-grabbing study has found microplastics in nine out of ten prostate cancer samples, with significantly higher concentrations in cancerous tissue than in nearby healthy cells. The finding is striking, but it comes with an important caveat. Researchers are not claiming cause. At this stage, it is a signal, not a conclusion. Microplastics are already known to be widespread in the human body, which makes interpreting results like this more complicated. Still, the...

A man with no medical background used ChatGPT, AlphaFold,...
Microplastics are no longer just an environmental issue. They are now a growing concern inside the human body. These tiny plastic particles have been found in organs, tissues, and even the brain, raising urgent questions about long term health effects. New research suggests that an unexpected food, kimchi, may offer a way to help remove them. What Are Microplastics and Nanoplastics? Microplastics are small plastic particles that form as larger plastic materials break down. Their...
