Shocking! Microplastics can dangerously affect bone health and even lead to fractures
Research indicates microplastics, pervasive in our environment, negatively impact bone health. Studies reveal these particles infiltrate bone tissue, disrupting bone marrow stem cell function and promoting bone resorption. This can lead to weakened bones, deformities, and increased fracture risk, potentially exacerbating metabolic bone diseases like osteoporosis, which are projected to rise significantly.
