Doesn't this one directly contradict the other one you linked? What is it now? How is my sperm in danger!? Please Mr. Googlescienceman! Oh god! I'm so confused!

Doesn't this one directly contradict the other one you linked? What is it now? How is my sperm in danger!? Please Mr. Googlescienceman! Oh god! I'm so confused! I can't take it anymore. Please just tell me what brand of air filter and plastic free clothes I need to buy!! Perhaps I should ask the all mighty google AI overview... Edit: Oh - lol XD. It literally just told me the science has found no causal link for microplastics harm. Hm. I guess you are just better at researching random studies than us mortals with stupid science degrees and hyped summary machines.

A single study with N=34 finding no significant effect on sperm count doesn't contradict a meta-analysis of 39 studies that did. That's what meta-analyses are for: aggregating underpowered individual studies into something statistically meaningful. You know this if you have the science degree you're claiming. As for Google AI Overview: if that's your standard of evidence now, we've come a long way from 'I subscribe to science.'
