- rowanG077 2y agoWell we don't know If microplastics are really bad. Let's just assume they are mildly toxic. Since the high amount of children on earth it will still be millions seriously affected.

- mandmandam 2y agoYou have microplastic in your balls (if you have them). They're in your brain [0] - 0.5% by mass, which is 50% more than 8 years ago. They're in the Mariana Trench, and Everest, and the rain. And production is still rising. 0 - https://edition.cnn.com/2024/08/23/health/plastics-in-brain-wellness/index.html https://edition.cnn.com/2024/08/23/health/plastics-in-brain-...
- jajko 2y agoWell, start with BPAs. Then add PFOAs (ie goretex, jackets are cca pure plastic). Micro/nano plastics themselves are still unknown, but those first two have already caused some significant damage. How do you count rate of cancer X raised by some tiny % Y on hundreds of millions of kids, billions if counting longer timescales since plastics were old news even in 80s? If you think eating plastics is fine, feel free to start chewing some of it daily, of course lowest quality and price.
