Humanity cooked, ate and built civilizations for thousands of years without plastic touching our food.
Plastic didn’t replace older materials because it was better.
It replaced them because it was cheaper.
We replaced wisdom with convenience.
Now we’re eating the consequences.

#Technosphere #Microplastics: "Researchers found that human #brain tissue holds up to 30 times more #plastic than other internal organs, amounting to roughly a spoonful of synthetic material scattered throughout the brain." https://www.futura-sciences.com/en/more-microplastics-found-in-the-brain-than-in-liver-or-kidneys-alarming-discovery_34397/

More microplastics found in the brain than in liver or kidneys alarming discovery - Futura-Sciences

The findings, led by researchers at the University of New Mexico, show that these concentrations have risen sharply since 2016, leaving brain tissue far more contaminated than liver or kidney tissue. Matthew Campen, a professor of pharmaceutical sciences at the university, has spent years studying where microplastics accumulate in the...

Mmm microplastics in vis… (we ‘zwijgen’ nog over de zware metalen erin: kwik, lood, cadmium).
Weet wat en ook wie je eet.
Vissen lijden immens, zitten ze daarnaast ook nog vol ongezonde zaken.. geen enkele win.

Microplastics maagdarmkanaal dringen ook door in visfilets, stelt Canadese studie

Microplastics zijn nog wijder verspreid dan we altijd hebben gedacht. Volgens een nieuwe Canadese studies bevatten visfilets 17 keer meer plasticdeeltjes dan we aanvankelijk dachten. Ook rubberdeeltjes werden aangetroffen. De studie werd uitgevoerd op Canadese zoetwatervis, soorten in trek bij sportvissers, in Humber Bay aan het Ontariomeer. Dat is een regio waar er al langer een vermoeden was van ernstige plasticvervuiling.

We kauwen op vervuilende plastic kauwgom, Nederland wil Europees verbod

Kauwgom die wordt uitgespuugd vervuilt het milieu omdat er vaak plastic in zit. Daarom wil Nederland een Europees kauwgomverbod.

I know we are all concerned about #microplastics, but have there been any studies done on the health impact of ingesting #cat hair? I swear I've inhaled several kilos lately.

We found microplastics in hedgehogs – then we traced them back to pet food

Many hedgehogs have become reliant on human-provided food.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦔🔬 Researchers collected 189 #hedgehog feces samples across the #UK and found #microplastics in 19% of them.

To trace the source, they tested nearly 40 brands of pet food at different price points and found #plastic in 29 of 38 products, with value-priced foods containing the most. Dry food had more plastic per gram, but because #animals eat larger portions of wet food, a large #dog could ingest over 300 microplastic particles per day.
