How ultra-processed foods are making us sick – video

Plastic in our food is more than just a nuisance—it's a growing health concern. Upcycling Plastic Packaging (UPFs), often used for convenient foods, are linked to obesity, gut issues, and chronic diseases, similar to regular plastics. These microplastics can enter the bloodstream or accumulate in organs like the liver, contributing to heart disease and diabetes. Despite companies promoting UPFs as eco-friendly replacements for single-use plastics, there’s no regulation ensuring their safety—potentially amplifying environmental harm.
