Dementia’s Silent Thief: Could Microplastics Be the Culprit?

It’s a topic that keeps becoming more alarming, and a new study has added to the confusion.

Past research has linked microplastics to a higher risk of serious illnesses like heart disease, lung disease, and even cancer.
The average person ingests tens of thousands of these particles yearly through the water, food, and air we drink.
