Scientists are examining the effect on brain health of microplastics and one of the largest sources of microplastics: ultra-processed foods. Earlier this year, scientists discovered that there is ...

Twenty-four brain samples collected in early 2024 measured on average about 0.5% plastic by weight ...

Recent studies have successively reported the discovery of microplastics and nanoplastics throughout our bodies. This ...

Tiny microplastics are making their way into the human brain, and new research suggests the problem is getting worse. The new study, published Monday in the journal Nature, found that brain samples ...

You don’t lose focus in one grand moment. You leak it in tiny drips: a peek at messages, a quick tab, a mental tab. The fix ...

Real change begins with repetition — often so small it barely registers as effort. These tiny actions, repeated consistently, ...

The average brain may contain a spoonful of plastic, a new study suggests. The number of tiny bits of plastic found in human brains increased dramatically between 2016 and 2024, with the highest ...

In 2004, science crossed a quiet line. Researchers confirmed that tiny scraps of plastic were not just drifting in oceans but entering living bodies. Two decades later, that discovery feels less like ...
