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 again 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 and of course it's heavily heavily size dependent so it's the particles that are going to be less than 10 microns
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.
in the lining of the gut it could probably be as big as uh 150 microns to be absorbed
if you're encountering a microplastic that's less than 2.5 microns you could absorb it both in your gut or via your lungs
the pulmonary epithelium requires them to be smaller than 2.5 uh microns um
