First human study shows microplastics alter gut bacteria in patterns linked to cancer and depression Microplastics in our food and water are altering human gut bacteria. A new human study found microplastics change gut activity and acidity. These changes mirror bacterial patterns seen in depression and colon cancer. Microplastic exposure is pervasive through ingestion, inhalation, and skin contact. Reducing microplastic exposure is a wise precaution for your health. New research confirms that the microplastics contaminating our food and water are actively altering our gut health, creating a pathway for serious diseases including colon cancer and depression. This first-of-its-kind human study, led by Austrian…
