**Impact of Microplastics on Health 2024. Crazy. 4X heart incidents. **

Microplastic fragments bind to key immune system cells, causing the release of cytokines and pro-inflammatory signals, leading to heightened inflammation and potential adverse health effects. These microplastics, mostly PET and PVC, accumulate in the body through water and food consumption, potentially driving inflammatory responses and negative health outcomes. Patients exposed to microplastics had a 4.5 times higher risk of heart attack or stroke within 34 months, with nanoparticles acting as scaffolding for plaque formation. The cumulative effects of long-term microplastic exposure are concerning, indicating the urgent need to avoid plastic consumption and opt for alternatives like glass or stainless steel.
