He walks through five clear mechanisms of harm, from hormone disruption and oxidative stress to gut microbiome damage and cellular aging. He also uncovers surprising hidden sources of plastic exposure, including tea bags, table salt, receipts, and cookware, that most health-conscious people have never considered.
