An estimated two million Americans received a cancer diagnosis in 2024; this number has significantly climbed in recent years.
Scientists are still baffled by some of the potential causes of many of these diseases, which cannot be explained by genetics, nutrition, or lifestyle choices.
According to the findings of Californian experts, exposure to microplastics is’suspected’ to contribute to the rise in lung and colon cancer. The research said earlier this month that.
“We concluded that exposure to microplastics is’suspected’ to adversely impact the colon and small intestine in humans.” It was published in ACS Publications Environmental Science & Technology.
Furthermore, microplastics are’suspected’ to impair the immune system and induce chronic inflammation.
