🧪 Microplastics aren't as inert as we thought! When they touch water, they spark chemical reactions and generate radicals that may harm cells and proteins. www.news-medical.net/news/2026101... #Microplastics #EnvironmentalHealth @nature.com

While I say #MAHA won't go far enough, is actually controlled opposition suppressing real #subversive horrors of the #vaccine agenda, I still point to #HealthcareIsaHumanRight groups targeting MAHA w hate for equal #hypocrisy.

We need unity.

"Microplastics are a source of extreme concern for health […] Now a study published in Nature offers a tantalizing clue: microplastics interact with water, generating highly reactive molecules."

🏭 Cement production may leave a hidden plastic footprint in groundwater.

A study in Nigeria found 150–460 microplastic particles per liter near a cement factory, raising concerns about water safety.

Well worth a read

"Why microplastics ...linked to heart attacks, stroke, dementia and brain tumors....the presumed chemical inertness of bulk plastics overlooks the toxicity of their fragmented microscale forms..."

I have noticed on the packaging of some brands of wet wipes that they advertise them as being 'flushable'!🤷🏼‍♀️
A lot of things can be flushed down the loo but that doesn't mean you should flush them.
