Description

Wang and co-authors report a 2025 mouse study on tiny plastic bits and heart harm. The bits can build up in the heart after they are swallowed, but it was not clear if diet changes that harm. Mice ate a normal diet, a high-fat diet, or a high-sugar diet while they were fed the plastic bits for up to eight weeks.

By week eight, hearts of mice on the rich diets held more of the bits than hearts on the normal diet. Those hearts also showed more scarring and swelling. Gene tests pointed to two distinct paths of harm, one for each rich diet. The work warns that diet may raise the heart risk from these bits.
