Are you full of plastic? The answer may shock you.

Every day, invisible particles of plastic make their way into your food, your air, your water—and now, your bloodstream, brain, and even your unborn children. We’re Full of Plastic is a deep dive into one of the most urgent and overlooked environmental and health crises of our time: the invasion of microplastics into the human body. According to a landmark study, the average person may ingest up to 5 grams of plastic each week—roughly the size of a credit card.

Drawing on cutting-edge scientific studies, this eye-opening book reveals how plastic pollution is no longer just a problem for oceans and landfills—it's a problem inside us. From the placenta to the brain, scientists are discovering plastic particles in the most intimate parts of our biology, raising serious questions about long-term health effects we’re only beginning to understand.

You’ll learn:

• How microplastics enter your body through everyday products and habits
• What current science says about the potential health risks
• Why babies may be the most vulnerable
• How industry and regulation have failed to keep up
• What you can do right now to reduce your exposure

Whether you're a concerned parent, health-conscious consumer, or curious listener, We’re Full of Plastic delivers a powerful message: the plastic age has gone too far—and it’s time we woke up.
