Microplastics Are In Your Brain

Microplastics Are In Your Brain

Ziploc Has Been Killing Us For Years

The plastic in your water bottle is now in your brain, your lungs, your blood, and your food. It’s even made its way down to the snow-covered corners of Antarctica. There’s nowhere on Earth untouched by microplastics anymore, and the lawsuits are finally starting to roll in, because now researchers are tying this microscopic garbage to dementia.

The very companies that brought us convenience-wrapped consumerism knew exactly what they were doing. Now, we’re watching it unfold like the slow-motion health disaster it is.

Ziploc, the brand every American household probably has stashed in a drawer, has been sued after claiming their plastic bags were “safe” for use in microwaves and freezers. As it turns out, under those conditions, the ones they literally told you were fine, the bags were leaching chemicals straight into your food. So while you were defrosting last night’s spaghetti or steaming veggies in a plastic pouch, what you were really doing was seasoning your dinner with endocrine disruptors. But hey, as long as it zips shut and keeps your leftovers fresh, right? This is what happens when the FDA lets corporations make health claims without long-term safety data.

Thank goodness lobbying is legal…
