Well you know. One is WAY worse. Like we still have not found that much proof of plastic being very bad

What the fuck are you on, it's already done untold damage to our ecosystems

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

In terms of our bodies probably too early to say, could be some bad long term effects though I'm not sure on that one

micro-plastics in the brain

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

Edit: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/aug/21/microplastics-brain-pollution-health

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.
