This oddly makes me feel less anxious about this issue. If everyone is ingesting microplastics all the time for a while now, it proves that at least in the short term there aren't any really bad effects. Otherwise we would've noticed it by now.

Yeah, because we already know what causes things like cancer, autism and a host of other diseases, right? Surely it can't be microplastics.

  Quite bizarre to single out "autism" there.

    I'm sorry, did you want a complete list of known diseases with unknown causes? Let me Google that for you.

      Nit: autism isn't a disease, it's classified as a disorder. And isn't quite on the level of cancer, regardless.

    Most of the latest research on autism causes points to endocrine disruption in mothers, and it seems that micro-plastics might affect fetal hormones. It seems relevant to me.
