The Plastic Accumulation Problem Nobody's Measuring in Longevity Research
New research from Moulton reveals that micro and nanoplastics accumulate throughout your lifetime and actively accelerate aging at the cellular level—through oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and measurable aging markers. This discovery suggests that detoxification capacity may be a critical bottleneck in longevity interventions that researchers have been overlooking, potentially explaining why some people respond to anti-aging treatments while others don't, and why future trials need to measure baseline plastic burden and genetic variations in detox enzymes.
