I'd rather stop polluting everything with plastic but I guess eating it and shitting it out is a good plan B.

Yup, we should look after the root issue, too. At the moment this just seems like a vibe treatment for millionaires

The effects that worry me most and are arguably the best studied are those on the human endocrine system. It unarguably interferes with our hormonal system, although it is not yet known to which degree or how it impacts each individual separately. Most likely this will go the way of cigarettes; with the world "knowing" it's poison but not taking action until the effects can absolutely no longer be ignored. By which time it will be too late for many.

I'm pretty sure other scientists are also looking into that issueas well.

Regular cells die or split regularly. When they die, white blood cells eat them, and they'll be part of filtering the blood.

Neurons don't though. There's still some concerns.

Wouldn't that end up in the bloodstream as cells die?

I think there are a good number of people who are trying to deal with the problem, but a significant portion of the ruling class do not want to and have no plans to deal with the problem. So, dealing with the symptoms is the next best thing.

The only way we can deal with the problem is by unplugging all of these people in the ruling class and starting fresh. But that's not something that is going to happen very easily or maybe at all sadly. Plus, we might just get a batch of fresh shitheads to rule the world.

But dealing with the root of the problem doesnt magically make the problem go away. We still need to deal with all the plastic that still exists after we fix the root. We still need a way to get microplastics out of the body. This is valuable research and you are essentially virtue signalling.

Also, this statement applies EVERYWHERE.

Just a pink mohawk and 21% chance to turn into a somewhat humanoid pig. Nothing to worry about 'till someone named Duke doesn't begin runnin 'round.
