Microplastics have been detected in human blood vessels, organs and brain tissue. Recent studies also found an association between plastic particles in carotid artery plaque and increased cardiovascular events—but researchers have not established cause and effect.

You cannot eliminate exposure completely, but practical steps may reduce it:

• Avoid heating food in plastic containers.
• Choose fresh or minimally processed foods.
• Use glass or stainless-steel food and drink containers.
• Reduce bottled beverages when safe filtered tap water is available.
• Limit unnecessary single-use plastics.
• Support cardiovascular health through nutrition, movement, sleep and appropriate medical care.
