Are microplastics piling up in your brain?

Good morning friends,

Most people think of microplastics as just ocean trash.
But here’s the shocking truth: they’re showing up inside our brains.

The latest research
In a recent study, scientists examined human brain tissue.
Over just 8 years, the amount of microplastic particles increased by 50%.

Even more alarming-
Dementia patients had three to five times more plastic in their brains compared to healthy individuals.

How plastic sneaks into your brain
Small particles of plastic don’t just pass through the gut. They:

• Bind to fats in the bloodstream

• Slip past the blood-brain barrier (the natural shield meant to protect your brain)

• Settle into brain tissue where they may disrupt cellular health

This raises serious questions:
If microplastics are linked to dementia…
Could they also contribute to rising rates of autism, Parkinson’s, or even brain tumors?

What you can do today
While we wait for more long-term data, here’s how to cut exposure now:

• Ditch polyester and synthetic clothing – microfibres shed directly into your skin and air

• Avoid plastic food storage – use glass, stainless steel, or ceramic

• Filter your drinking water – many municipal sources show high plastic contamination

• Minimise packaged foods – plastics leach into food, especially when heated

The bigger picture
We’ve eaten bread for thousands of years, but we’ve only been surrounded by plastic for decades.
And in that short time, it has found its way into our organs, our blood, and now our brains.

The question is—how much longer will we ignore it?
