Probably a dumb question, but I’ve wondered if plastic has anything to do with cancer in the modern era?
Mostly everything we consume these days has been touched by a form of plastic.

I am wondering if microplastic is a factor in addition to air and water pollution, processed/pre-packaged food.
Another factor maybe humankind beating/cancelling natural selection due to modern medicine. So people who would normally perish in olden days are living longer only to be later killed by cancer.
There’s another factor of total population. More people means more diversity and more DNA copying errors? Can someone expert in this field comment on this?
It's not a debated issue: it's well known.

The best I’ve seen is increase inflammation due to small plastic particles.
