Microplastics Linked to Heart Attack, Stroke and Death – People who had tiny plastic particles lodged in a key blood vessel were more likely to experience serious health problems or die during a three-year study
Microplastics are just impossible to avoid. No matter how hard you try. I tried once. I couldn’t even minimise impact besides buying water bottle. Also there is just no alternative to plastics in many cases. Modern day lead. Romans knew dangers of lead and we know dangers of plastic.
Note to self: keep drinking alcohol.
read the article. would be interested in the actual paper. curious how they found their negative controls given how ubiquitous microplastics are
assuming it was a prospective study, i would assume they measured baseline levels and checked correlation over time?
3 years seems pretty short for this kind of conclusion.
i dont doubt there are health issues to microplastics. just curious how they ran their numbers
I hope we’re able to let lose some plastic-eating bacteria soon. It would be better in the long run.
