The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
And as you probably know, larger microplastics are not well absorbed through the gut epithelial cells. So when you're, you know, taking them in in the gut, they're coming out, they're being excreted through your your feces and um less likely to be taken up into your gut and then get into your body.
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
the majority like to the tune of 99% of ingested microplastics are are going to be eliminated through through stool and um this is a relatively short Transit time we're talking about 24 to 72 hours
and the Plastics have a very difficult time crossing the GI epithelium um so when you look at animal studies we would see that um it's about. 3% maybe with a ceiling of about 1.7% of microplastics have the capacity to be absorbed across uh the GI epithelium
um and again the Plastics have a very difficult time crossing the GI epithelium
