Your brain is full of microplastics: are they harming you?

[Rustynaerduwell]

1. After my daughter was born, I forbid plastic anything in my house (as possible).

This was in the nineties. People thought I was crazy or paranoid. I never trusted plastic in our environment, and here's why:
Evolution has prepared us, through millions of years, with the mechanisms necessary for our survival. The bacteria in your gut that helps you digest milk is there because of evolutionary pressures. Bacteria that shouldn't be there is removed by cells whose very existence is a result of the evolutionary battles of millennia. But plastic came along in an instant. It was suddenly ubiquitous. And evolution has given us no mechanism for removing it from our body. I believed this forty years ago and I believe it now. I'm not a scientist, but this seemed so obvious to me. Plastic does not go away and our body cannot' remove it from our system. It will be the tobacco and leaded gas of our time.
