Plastic Disease Danger

Scientists & doctors are seeing collection of toxic plastics in every organ of our body.

There are tiny invisible bits of plastics in our air, water and soil. These are called microplastics and they are toxic, and they are entering in our body. The amount of plastic that is getting collected in our body seems to have increased by 50% in just the past 8 years — as per researchers from University of New Mexico Health Sciences.

Habits
The plastic enters our food because of a dangerous family habit
Every Indian family buys 50+ packaged items every month - food, shampoo, biscuits, oil, pasta, drinks, cleaning liquids and more. Every one of these comes in plastic. After use, nearly every family throws this plastic into mixed kitchen garbage. This single habit sends plastic into soil, water and finally our bodies.

Chocolate, chips, pasta, aata, dal, rice, shampoo and more. A family buys 50+ branded daily-use items every month. Everything is packed in using plastic.

After using the items, the family throws all branded plastics bags, bottles etc of all brands in garbage

That garbage breaks down and becomes invisible. Then it enters food & water. Heat, sun and rain break the plastic into toxic micro particles that attach to chemicals and travel into crops, fish, eggs and drinking water. We eat them.

Plastic Could cause diseases and disabilities
Science has not declared final proof yet. But researchers across the world are seeing strong warning signals. Plastic inside organs may alter normal functions, trigger inflammation, disturb hormones or affect development in children.
