Microplastics enter inside plants and affects Humans
I have shared several articles in the past regarding the harmful nature of microplastics. Today I read an interesting article on how Microplastics are capable of entering the human body by getting inside plants. Due to the indestructible nature of microplastics, it is hard to decompose or destroy them. They get into the food we consume and create health issues. We used to think that Microplastics can enter our body only through direct means and maybe even through our food, but this interesting article showed how they can enter plant cells and enter our human body as we consume plants.
Today we are using plastics in several places. Agriculture is one place where plastics are being widely used. We have to be very careful when we are getting compost from decomposing waste. Sometimes some of the plastic wastes also get alongside regular manure, and they are given to the plants for their fast growth. This is a dangerous way to enter the food chain. There are some microorganisms available that are capable of breaking down plastics. They don't decompose plastics, but they break down regular-sized plastic to microplastics.
Consume organic food
We should know where our food is coming from. The food can come from a good source, but what if the farmers were using heavy artificial fertilizers and manure that comes from waste? There is a potential chance that the manure from waste can have microplastics. We don't know how closely they can bind with the plant cells. They might penetrate the plant body and, in turn, reach human beings when they are consumed. One thing that we can understand from this is that plastic is capable of travelling from one form to another or one host to another, but there is no one yet who can break down plastics.
It is advisable to learn where our food is coming from and it is better to choose the right food and grow our own food. This way we can be sure that we are consuming the right food that is free from plastic pollution. Doctors already say that microplastics is contributing to impotency in males because of microplastics in sperm.

i agree, only organic food can be somehow reliable, even tough it's super expensive... microplastics are really a big issue

Sir, you have written a very good post on microplastics today. I have written many posts but I have never written or read about microplastics. But today I will also try to make people aware about this.
The issues of microplastic are everywhere and it’s an expository article you have written about this. We should be able to really know where and what we eat comes from but like you said, it’s always better to grow one’s own food

Growing your own food seems like the safest way to avoid microplastics. I never thought they could get inside plants like that. Very serious thing
it's clear that making informed choices about our food sources is more important than ever.
we have stopped using plastic in our home. we are not using plastic containers in the microwave also.
Best choice. Everyone should do that. We should reduce the usage of plastics.
These are actually what we need to pay attention because it is constantly affecting a whole lot of people daily
I saw something recently saying the amount of micro plastics in the average human brain been growing rapidly in the last few years.
Marky, do you not realize that your actions have been exposed for what they are? The Buildawhale scam farm, often referred to as the "unlimited Hive money glitch," is no laughing matter. You've amassed a significant portion of your Hive Power by selling votes to spammers, online associates, and through the use of countless alt accounts. This behavior undermines the very foundation of fairness and trust within the Hive ecosystem.
We must ask: What motivates your relentless downvoting campaigns? Is it retaliation for having your practices brought to light? It’s clear that you’ve targeted individuals who don’t fit your circle—whether based on race or other differences. Downvoting Black users and anyone outside your inner group raises serious questions about bias and discrimination. Why does it seem acceptable for you and your friends to exploit the system with tipping bots, self-voting schemes, and spam projects while penalizing others who attempt similar tactics?
Your hypocrisy is glaring. You enforce rules on others that you refuse to follow yourself. When will you stop breaking the same principles you claim to uphold?
The Bipcoin team is here to shine a light on these truths—not out of malice, but because transparency and accountability are essential for Hive’s growth and integrity. We expose these issues so the community can address them head-on.
Enough is enough. It’s time to take responsibility for your actions and work toward meaningful change. Stop enabling abuse, stop targeting marginalized voices, and start contributing to a Hive where everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed.
Actions speak louder than words. Let’s see yours.
Oh wow.
