what can be done about microplastics and nanoplastics IST?
it's starting to get scary with the amount of shit that's being linked to them, and at this point they are literally everywhere and unavoidable. I believe microplastics are the single biggest health issue of our generation and we should be putting all our effort into mitigating exposure.
you can donate blood but they're in your organs. you can do sauna but they're in your brain.
you can wear only natural fibers and reduce your exposure, but complete elimination is probably not possible. recently apple pectin has been found to cause microplastics to "coagulate", but does this mean they'll collect inside our bodies in larger clumps or will they be collected by our bodies and excreted somehow?
We literally have to wait until plastic eating bacteria becomes popular (they're already kinda real) and hope it doesn't spiral out of control (it will)
Would it be good to use these as a prebiotic? Put them in some yogurt or kefir, then eat that shit? That might actually be insane, some scientists need to try this.
true, I've read of some fungi as well that consume microplastics and turn them into something less harmful. but I'm wary of introducing things like that into our bodies, no telling what kind of reaction there'll be.
It’s already too late
It’s placenta and in fetuses
There are kids being born with microplastics in their brain
Coagulation is usually removed by the body, yes?
>ONLY EAT ON CERAMIC PLATES
>DRINK OUT OF GLASS CUPS
>DRINK OUT OF METAL CANTEENS
>STORE THINGS IN GLASS POTS
>WEAR COTTON AND WOOL
>BURN PLASTIC ON SYNAGOGUES
yeah these are all great for reducing exposure. but we're all full of microplastics regardless. I wore polyester and ate out of styrofoam and shit for decades before knowing about how big a deal this shit is. my concern now is getting them out of me.
There is no evidence that microplastics pose a threat to human health. You guys are like the nutsos who thought fluoride in water would cause everyone to go rabid 50 years ago
You are moronic. You are like one of those homosexuals who thought smoking was healthy because 9 out of 10 doctors recommended it.
microplastics have already been linked to a variety of diseases including Alzheimer's and certain cancers. as research continues, they'll only be linked to more and more diseases. what will you say then homosexual.
He supports the current thing. Anything the government and billionaires tell him, he will do. Those studies will just be "conspiracy theories" by shitty scientists, only Monsanto-approved studies matter.
There's literally no control group for research, it's everywhere

>bro, why would a xenobiotic which your body cannot break down be bad
have a nice day you moronic Black personcattle redditor

Grow a pair of balls.
shut the frick up worthless homosexual
Eat probiotics. There's billions of them. One of them has to know how to get rid of microplastic. It's a numbers game.
honestly this is the only reason im not panicing also, there are fungi (found in nature) that can eat some types of plastics. i bet that with some breeding and time/money/effort they could be made to eat any other type of plastic.
once thats all good you can just take a pill or get them injected. theyll clean up a bit and then your immune system will kill them
I feel like fasting would be the best way to rid yourself of microplastics. Your body goes into repair mode and kicks out a bunch of unneeded shit - surely it would "loosen it up" and excrete it out of your piss or shit?
Nattokinase
Just try to be as healthy as possible in general.
Our generation and the next couple are fricked
Worst case is westerners have a fertility crisis when some large proportion of men are rendered semi or infertile
It is a problem being worked on and there are actually lots of ways to delete plastics, including turning them into clean fuel, so far the economics haven't been in favour but this is shifting and there are new discoveries unironically all the time
Hold fast anon
