The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

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.
What your water comes in matters. We've got five glass bottles and three plastic bottles. You guys probably have a sense of this, but when you're drinking out of a plastic bottle, that's going to result in a very different composition of the water with regard to things like microplastics and nanoplastics than a glass bottle.
We're going to talk about microplastics, which are way worse than you think.
Water from glass bottles was recently shown to contain up to 3x more microplastics than plastic bottles.
