Correlation is not causation. There is currently no definitive proof of anything. It sure as hell is not good for us. But I'll take the plastic over the lead poisoning every day.

I'm just saying one is acutely more dangerous.

Edit: while I have not watched the entire video, she even says the studies are incredibly small. You can not say shit if you test less than 20 people. These small studies' results may point to a larger study being interesting to do, but nothing else.

That is indeed what I meant to say. Though if we want to talk about worse things we can just at both farming and climate change. THOSE are really really bad

I meant when it is in our bodies. One is WAY worse then.

I meant microplastics in our bodies. Not the environment. Though you could argue that farming as a whole is the worst thing we are doing

The article I read said Alzheimer patients had 10x the amount of plastics in the, compared to peoples ithput Alzheimers.

In the study, researchers looked at 12 brain samples from people who had died with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease. These brains contained up to 10 times more plastic by weight than healthy samples.
