But what about ingesting micrometals

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

do micro metals even exist in substantial capacity? The problem with micro plastics is that they don't break down and decay until like a gazillion years later, so whatever micro plastics are in your kidneys now, will continue to be in them until you die.

at least its not a single use product, the packaging it comes in is probably a worse contributor
