Sure. But still better than lead. Just look at the current state of US politics. A lot of it is due to lead poisoning.

okwhateverdude@lemmy.world 5 days agoEhh. I don’t think we’ve really seen the bottom of the microplastics global problem. For all we know, the global reproduction rate dropping in developed countries is due to side effects of plastics in our brains and reproductive organs. Lead might be more obvious and immediate, relatively speaking, but we’ve not studied enough the effects of our plastic world on our bodies.

I wonder if we are going to be able to truly study the effects of plastic. We’ll surely be able to point at certain effects, but like porn, you just won’t be able to find people who can be the control group.
