Microplastics have been confirmed deep within human skeletal tissues, including bone, cartilage and spinal discs, as reviewed in a major scientific publication. These particles enter the body through inhalation, ingestion and skin contact, traveling via the bloodstream to reach the vascular network of bones and bone marrow. Laboratory and animal studies show microplastics trigger chronic inflammation in bone cells, disrupt normal function and can increase bone-destroying cells (osteoclasts), leading to net bone loss, decreased bone mass and compromised structure. This discovery intersects with a projected global surge in osteoporosis, suggesting microplastics may be a novel environmental risk factor exacerbating the epidemic. While definitive human…
