Microplastics found in brains

[-gg-]

I'm guessing that the plastic is more coming from stuff we eat or inadvertently or purposely put in out mouths, rather than leaching from containers. Just a total guess - but my reasoning is that it seems like you'd get a much higher dose of plastic ingestion by things either in the food supply (including processing and packaging equipment) contaminating the product.

People put things in their mouths all the time too. Toys, instruments, whistles, kazoos - whatever. Also clothing. So many fabrics are made from oil byproducts - such as polyester, fake leather, and more. Your sheets, pajamas, shirts, socks, underwear. We're rolling in that every day.

Toothbrushes, lipstick, ChapStick, and stuff like that too. Seems like you'd get way more plastic into your body these ways.

Not trying to be in convincing mode…
Plastic dry-rots. All plastics. They dry-rot because the chemicals that make them flexible. is evaporating/leaching, then they become brittle. Those chemicals are going somewhere.

Also particles come about different ways, plastic dust is everywhere in a plant.

That said, some if the things you drink may have been packaged 6 mos - 1 yr ago.

Humans take the path of least resistance, convenient beliefs. They are going to to do what they are going to to do and have plenty of canned justifications. The younger feel more invincible.

Make your own decisions.
Personally I’m big on science and data, not just the convenient science.
