Stop the Microplastics Mayhem! Proactive Steps to Minimize Exposure

from Diet Science Hosted by Dee and Michael McCaffrey

Microplastics are tiny plastic particles—smaller than a grain of sand—shed from bottles, bags, tires, synthetic fabrics, and even cosmetics. Linked to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and cancer, these invisible invaders are everywhere. Listen in this week as Dee shares nutrition and detox strategies to help clear them from your body.
