New study finds microplastics in 90% of salt

The video discusses a study on microplastics in salt brands worldwide, highlighting that 36 out of 39 brands contain microplastics, with the highest density found in Asian brands, particularly from Indonesia. Only salts from Taiwan, China, and France were free from plastics. The study also compares microplastic levels in sea, lake, and rock salts, finding sea salt to have the highest levels. It estimates the average adult's annual microplastic consumption through salt.
