Can Microplastics Actually Cause Diabetes?
Tiny bits of plastic are everywhere. They are in our water, food, and even in the air we breathe. Could those little specks actually raise our risk of diabetes? Well, here’s what the science says so far. A study looking at coastal areas in the US found higher rates of type 2 diabetes where microplastic exposure is higher. But here’s the key: Correlation doesn’t mean causation. We don’t yet have solid proof that microplastics cause diabetes in people. Still, less plastic in our bodies and our planet is always a win. So, avoid heating food in plastic containers, use glass or steel for storage, and try filtering your drinking water.
