If microplastics are everywhere, how did some participants in the study not have it in their bodies? I want to not have plastics clogging my arteries as well.
>A study of more than 200 people undergoing surgery found that nearly 60% had microplastics or even smaller nanoplastics in a main artery1. Those who did were 4.5 times more likely to experience a heart attack, a stroke or death
They weren't comparing against people with no microplastics whatsoever, only the ones that had no detectable amounts in their arteries.
Put another way, say you and I both have occluded arteries, and we are both inhaling and ingesting microplastics because they're inescapable. I have plastic in my clogs and you do not. What are you doing differently?
