Microplastics Detected in Prostate Tumor Tissue.

Examinations of prostate cancer tumors from ten patients revealed microplastic particles in all but one sample, with cancerous tissue containing approximately 2.5 times more plastic than adjacent benign tissue.

However, for many of these individuals, their blood pressure readings are only slightly above target levels, suggesting that achieving normal readings is achievable with appropriate lifestyle changes.
