The Food and Drug Administration says in a statement on its website that “current scientific evidence does not demonstrate that levels of microplastics or nanoplastics detected in foods pose a risk to human health.”
uhhhh is there tho? we’ve had many discoveries of microplastics being in places and things, and like duh new things should not be added to bodies and environments without knowledge of their implications. but there is very little concrete about what it’s actually doing.
Yeah, there’s not any evidence I’m aware of yet that micro plastics in the body do much of anything. That’s not to say that it doesn’t, just that whatever it might do is not so dramatic that we’re able to immediately tell.
and unfortunately it’s crucial for this information to be found out before places like the FDA can make a standard. they can’t just guess and risk that being too high, and until we have realistic mitigation strategies it’s a joke to say “none”
