Someone correct me if I’m remembering this incorrectly but I do remember seeing a article explaining how we have discovered that plastic has been making men infertile due to the male body collecting micro plastics in the balls to the point that if not stopped in time the plastic will start killing sperms and making the man sterile
In the study, researchers looked at 12 brain samples from people who had died with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease. These brains contained up to 10 times more plastic by weight than healthy samples.
Well you know. One is WAY worse. Like we still have not found that much proof of plastic being very bad
What the fuck are you on, it’s already done untold damage to our ecosystems
I meant microplastics in our bodies. Not the environment. Though you could argue that farming as a whole is the worst thing we are doing
In terms of our bodies probably too early to say, could be some bad long term effects though I’m not sure on that one
People downvoting this comment are just mad that you’re right.

There aren’t any islands of lead in the ocean, and lead items aren’t single-use. Yes yes, both are bad, but one is obviously worse.
I meant when it is in our bodies. One is WAY worse then.
micro-plastics in the brain
The article I read said Alzheimer patients had 10x the amount of plastics in the, compared to peoples ithput Alzheimers.

Lead is more dangerous to humans. Plastic is worse for the planet
