The results of the new study showed that the content of microplasty in the brain reached 4800 μg. This was reported by the doctor of preventive and anti-aging medicine Natalya Zubareva in her official TG channel (18+).
According to the expert, the concentration of microplasty in the body is 3-5 times higher in people with dementia than healthy ones. Therefore, scientists concluded that the use of microplasty is associated with cognitive disorders.
As the specialist notes, the following toxic substances from plastic are harmful. Bisphenol A provokes obesity, oncological diseases and heart disease. Ftalates affect the lungs, liver, kidneys. PFAS violate the functioning of the liver and thyroid gland.
The main sources of microplasty are hot drinks with plastic lids, containers for heating food, as well as water from bottles left in the sun.
