Microplastics…in your arteries?
A 2024 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found microplastics embedded in the arterial plaque of patients with cardiovascular disease, and those who had them were 4.5x more likely to have a heart attack, stroke, or die over the next 3 years…
Now, this doesn’t prove microplastics cause heart disease — but it raises some really important questions about what we’re being exposed to every day!
At Case Integrative Health, we believe in looking at the whole picture of your health — including these environmental factors that aren’t always talked about!
