Comment on Microplastics will be the "boomers all have lead poisoning" of millennials
Nalivai@discuss.tchncs.de 3 days agoThat’s the neat thing: nobody can. It’s incredibly hard to devise a study that can show anything about it. There is no way to get a human without microplastics in them to get a control group, and by this point as far as I know there is no plausible theory to get a specific study.
Everyone kinda suspects that it can’t be good for you, simultaneously there is zero actual evidence that something is ever happening. We don’t know, and that’s very frustrating.

It seems like they’d be fairly inert. Although that’s certainly no guarantee that they’re not really bad for you. Much like inert gas, the danger could well be them replacing or getting in the way of something else.
