“…[8] More importantly, the discarded plastics in the oceans threaten the survival of aquatic animals, which would also invade the human food chain. [9] In consideration of these enormous hazards aroused by the plastic wastes, a series of measures have been adopted to degrade or recycle these abominable plastic wastes.…”

“…56 Plastic particles can account for various adverse biological phenomena including immunotoxicology, altered gene expression and apoptosis through both chemical and particle stress. 57 While most microplastic is 1-5 mm, it also exists as nanoplastic which can accumulate in various tissues including brain with long half-lives and can cross the placenta into the fetus.…”

Food structure is critical for optimal health

Much nutrition policy is nutrient-based, supported by extensive nutrient science and food nutrient composition tables and recommendations for dietary evaluation. There are no comparable instruments for food structure. This constitutes a policy and practice gap since food is valued for its textural properties and not simply its chemistry. The structurally-important 'dietary fibre' at first proved of greater interest for its chemistry than its physico-chemistry even to health scientists and workers. As food chemistry became evidently complex, especially for phytonutrients, food-based dietary guidelines became an imperative and were launched by FAO and WHO in Cyprus in 1995. Food-health relationships, after weaning, are best articulated in terms of the achievement of dietary diversity, predicated partly on how intact foods are or in what way they are prepared. Cooking itself has health-promoting characteristics. Even with identical chemistry, food structure makes a major difference to biological and health outcomes. With evidence that food structure contributes to the matrix that food provides for nutrient delivery, and also to gut microbiomic profile and integrity, concern has grown about overly-processed food and health outcomes. The definition and categorisation of 'ultra-processed foods' is now a work-in-progress. Future public health nutritional and clinical nutrition developments will take account of food structure. To these ends, food composition tables will need to provide information like particle size and viscosity. Dietary recommendations will need to take account of food structure, as is the case for Brazil whose first step is "Make natural or minimally processed foods the basis of your diet".

“…The potential health risks of nanoplastic can be assessed the same as engineered nanoparticles (EFSA Panel on Contaminants in the Food Chain, 2016). Research studies revealed that the small size and hydrophobicity of nanoparticles enable them to pass through the blood‐brain barrier and placenta into the lungs and intestines (Seltenrich, 2015), and cause changes in endogenous metabolites and the intestinal microbial community (Bergin & Witzmann, 2013; Cui et al, 2019). The impact of MPs on human health has not yet been determined.…”

In recent years, as an emerging pollutant, microplastic (MPs) pollution is gradually becoming a research hotspot.MPs are ubiquitous in the entire ecological environment. Organisms can be exposed to MPs via inhalation or ingestion. In view of the widespread of MPs pollution, the impact of MPs on biology should be further investigated. In previous experiments, we have conducted research on the physiology of Drosophila exposed to polyethylene terephthalate microplastics (PET-MPs). However, will the lifespan of Drosophila be affected under long-term PET-MPs exposure? The analysis of variance analysis of our experimental results indicates that there are significant differences between males and females, F(1, 895) = 68.19, p < 0.001, between PET-MPs concentration, F(3, 895) = 8.11, p < 0.001. There are also significant interactions between sex and MP concentration, F(3, 895) = 4.00, p < 0.01. For Cox and log-rank test, 1 g/L of PET-MPs prolongs the lifespan of male flies. The reason for this phenomenon may be the hormesis effect.
