'The more (ultra-)processed a foodstuff, the greater its burden of synthetic chemicals generally is,; the authors wrote."Ultra-processed foods such as <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/candies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#candies</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HotDogs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HotDogs</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PackagedSoups" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PackagedSoups</a> are industrially made and contain many added ingredients not found in home kitchens, such as <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/stabilizers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#stabilizers</a> and added colors and flavors. "Thousands of harmful substances including <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bisphenols" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bisphenols</a> (such as <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BPA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BPA</a>), <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/phthalates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#phthalates</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/microplastics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#microplastics</a> (tiny plastic particles) and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PFAS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PFAS</a>) can leach into industrially produced foods during production, as well as from containers in which the foods are stored and while heating them up before they are eaten, according to the article. Emerging research suggests that even the 'normal and intended use' of plastic materials that come into contact with foods along their journey to our plates can contaminate these products, the authors wrote."Research increasingly shows that some of the same synthetic chemicals found in ultra-processed foods, as well as drinking water and other sources, are prevalent in our bodies. About 98% of the US population has PFAS in their blood, while microplastics and even smaller plastic particles (nanoplastics) accumulate in 'just about every portion of your body…no organ is spared, really,' Dr. Sanjay Rajagopalan, director of the Cardiovascular Research Institute at Case Western Reserve University, said during a May 15 webinar hosted by the group Beyond Plastics. Plastic particles have been found in everything from the placenta to the brain, lungs and heart, he said. "In a 2024 study, Rajagopalan and colleagues found a link between microplastics in the arteries and risks for heart attacks and strokes." 'The particles looked quite nasty,' he said. 'They were jagged particles with sharp edges, very similar to cholesterol.'
