Eating a credit card full of plastic per year sounds totally natural. Nothing to worry about!

  I'm sure we eat that much silica powder.. what makes a granule of plastic worse? I'm not discounting the potential problem of microplastics, but I'm not seeing a clear description of what it actually does to a person. Embed and raise cancer risk?

    Silica powder is basically inert. Plastics don’t have that same guarantee. Some of them are endocrine disrupters, like BPA.

    For me it’s about baseline assumptions. When I’m eating food, I should assume that I’m not eating anything my great-grandmother would not recognize as food.

      Amazing that this is objectionable.
