    It gets worse, it’s inherently difficult to study this. There have been attempts to study the effects of microplastics in humans, but every time, those studies have to be canceled, because they can’t find a control group.

      A control group being people without plastics already present? Got any links for this, I am curious.

      Doesn’t that imply that the control group are the people riddled with plastic 🤔?
