0.5% plastic, wtf? isnt brain blood barrier selective enough to filter microplastics?
Clearly not.
I mean BBB filter threshold is anywhere from 2.3 to 50 nm depending on pressure. Even though microplastics can get down to 1nm that is like an outlier. So in a situation where virtually almost all of microplastics must be filtered out, how does one get such a huge percentage as 0.1%?
Scientists say no plastic is truly microwave safe. Maybe we eat it?
It can't help that so much of our food is packaged in plastic to keep water in or out.
