Scientists have made a disturbing discovery: human brains contain microplastics, and at higher concentrations than other organs. Worse, brain levels have jumped 50% in just eight years.
He believes that food, especially meat, is the primary source of microplastics entering the body, as commercial meat production tends to accumulate plastic particles within the food chain.
“The way we irrigate fields with plastic-contaminated water, we postulate that the plastics build up there,” Campen said. “We feed those crops to our livestock. We take the manure and put it back on the field, so there may be a sort of feed-forward biomagnification.”
I suppose so. Even though they already melt at typical frying or baking temperatures, they don’t evaporate. Even if, the still need to find a way through the food outside and not get trapped inside, where they’ll cool down again and therefore return to a solid state.
Take this with a grain of microplastic-free salt, as this is not my field.
Go vegan, I guess?
Can plastic stay in it’s plastic form after undergoing cooking?
