Microplastics will be the "boomers all have lead poisoning" of millennials - Reddthat

Millennials? More like GenX. We’ve been eating out of microwaved tupperware since the sixties.
So have the millennials who were breast fed.
The worst part: postpartum women have lower levels of microplastics than other adults.
So you’re saying the baby took some of the plastic out of them, that’s horribly depressing at least they got 10 to 15 point IQ boost in return
Might be that. Although your body goes into absolute overdrive during pregnancy, and it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that some of the immune system reactions that kick in manage to eject some level of plastic microparticulates
Seems Like something people should be definitely looking into to find out why, with the state of science in America It’s probably not going to be here
I’ve thought more about it. I bet there’s fucking loads in the placenta.

That was my question too, I wonder if there is a reliable way to measure where it all went, or if it’s just diluted in the increased blood volume.

There’s also the possibility that with are more careful with their intake during pregnancy, but that could be controlled for in survey data.
