Microplastics are everywhere, and this study looks at how they affect our health and how to make them less harmful. They found that some plants called polyphenols can help reduce the bad effects of microplastics in our body by changing certain bacteria in our gut. They also found different bacteria and chemicals in people exposed to more microplastics.
