Does normally treated bottled water have invisible plastics in them?

Question

Hello doctor,

I need to be completely fit. I take care of my diet and water. I just saw the news that the bottled water that we take every day may have millions of bits of plastic in it. Is it possible, and if yes, how? Does normally treated bottled water have invisible plastics in it? Inadvertently, I may have eaten billions of such plastics. How will that affect my health? Will this affect my sports career? Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Do not worry. I am here to take care of you. Actually, yes, plastic bottled water has a lot of microplastic that human eyes can not see except with the use of a microscope. This is because these plastic bottles are made of polyethylene, which is used to make rubber bottles. Yes, normally treated bottled water has invisible plastic, but in small amounts that are less lethal to the human system. So, the health risks or effects are too minimal to cause any sickness.

I hope this helps.
