Generic name that receives a series of small structures such as cells,
molecules, particles or elements,
→ Summary:
A recent
study has found that drinking water contains plastic particles or fibers. We do
not know what happens with these microfragments once they are in the intestine.
It could be that they passed through the body without being absorbed, just like
the non-digestible fiber of the food. However, the smaller they are, the more
likely they are to reach the bloodstream and even the cells. We also do not
know if these microparticles are harmful to human health, but they have several
potential harmful effects. It is possible that these micriparticles combine
with insoluble toxins and these produce diseases.
→ Personal
opinion:
More studies
should be done to know the seriousness of the matter, and if it is discovered
that these microparticles are harmful to the human body this water would have
to be treated in some way to eliminate them.
