Mindsip insights from this episode:
Reduce microplastics exposure to lower heart risk
Individuals with microplastics in their arteries had a noticeably higher risk of heart attacks, strokes, and death from any cause over a three-year period.
Investigate microplastics in human carotid artery plaque
A recent study quantified the amount of micro and nanoplastics found within the plaque of human carotid arteries.
Acknowledge limitations of associative studies on plastics and heart disease
The research is an associative study, meaning it shows a link but does not prove that plastics directly cause heart disease, a limitation not widely discussed.
Address microplastics to prevent endothelial dysfunction
Other studies provide a potential mechanism, indicating that micro and nanoplastics can cause endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, and oxidative stress.
Investigate factors protecting against microplastics despite arterial plaque
Despite having significant arterial plaque, around 40% of the study participants had no detectable microplastics in their bodies, suggesting some people are protected.
Investigate inflammation as potential disease culprit, not plastics
It is technically possible that the plastics are not the cause of disease, but rather the co-existing inflammation is the real culprit.
