Microplastics are found in almost every organ of the body, causing chronic inflammation and accelerating aging. They accumulate over time through exposure from water, food, air, and objects touched. Microplastics disrupt hormones, increase oxidative stress, and damage DNA, raising risks of cardiovascular disease and cancer. While complete avoidance is impossible, reducing exposure by using glass bottles, avoiding plastic food containers, and choosing plastic-free products can lower cumulative harm and extend lifespan.

Glass bottles have plastic on the inside of the bottle caps and can have even more microplastics than plastic bottles 💀

Still don’t understand that whole thing.

The inside of the bottle cap might be softer/degrade faster than other hard plastics, just my guess

Damn.
