concerning microplastics in healthy food causing bodily damage

Post by MarieT »

Many foods widely considered to be 'healthy' are actually teeming with microplastics that have been linked to cancer, DNA damage and other health issues.

Microplastics are tiny pieces of plastic less than five millimeters long, or smaller than a pencil eraser.

Seems like anything we eat or drink will kill us or make us deathly ill. One never knows. This is why we should always bless anything we put into our mouth. That is hard to remember when drinking water, coffee, or tea, but a really great idea. Just my opinion.

I love this idea of blessing every we put in our mouths! I have been concerned about micro plastics and wondering if the problem is being exaggerated or understated by media etc.

Of course turn the problem over to God! Blessing everything we put in our mouths is the first solution I've heard that makes practical sense.
