Our food and water supply is besieged by plastic, and depending on how these products are packaged, processed, and heated, the effect of microplastics on our health can vary widely. We know they're not good for us, but how worried should we be?

The good news: Brand new research from Australia shows that we can reduce the microplastics in our body by as much as 60% if we make these relatively simple lifestyle changes.
