A recent study suggests the presence of microplastics may increase the risk of heart attack and other cardiovascular problems among people with heart disease. The tiny plastics were found to double the risk of stroke or heart attack.

Blood cells are made in the bone marrow. The bone marrow is the soft, spongy material in the center of the bones. It produces about 95% of the body's blood cells. Most of the adult body's bone marrow is in the pelvic bones, breast bone, and the bones of the spine.

So then how is micro plastics getting in your blood stream? Oh I see through digestion.

Nearly all the water is absorbed into the bloodstream from the small intestine. The small intestine is actually the longest segment of the gastrointestinal tract — the long, continuous pathway that food travels through your digestive system. In the small intestine, food is broken down into liquid and most of its nutrients are absorbed. The excess fluid absorbed in the blood is filtered by the kidneys, which produce the urine that is transported to the bladder. The waste is passed on to the large intestine.

The body will only breakdown and metabolize nutrients it can use. Not to say it wont digest any nutrients that can be harmful but those toxins are proteins and other building block minerals, or of the same type as non toxic molecules. Your body rejects things it can't digest and breakdown like polymer carbon chains, plastics, silica, cellulosic fibers. Plaque and fat gets in your blood, because it was once something your body could break down.
It is not going to breakdown plastics.

So if Microplastics were as big of an issue or threat that they say it is. Then it would only stand to reason, that people would be having plastic kidney stones, possibly creating new kinds of bladder and kidney cancers. Colon issues, gut issues, but that is not the case. I remember seeing an online article once about microplastics found in fish, with microscopic images of tiny perfect square particles. But in reality oxidized plastic particles are jagged and irregular. So the images and the study were probably hype and fake. If it were so with the fish, then surely it would be true with humans. This study should have concluded we're getting microplastics in our muscles, but that's impossible. As food does not go down our throats to our muscles directly. No more than consuming glass, wood, paper or corn pericarp.

So why the sudden Heart risk deflection? Are they trying to readily explain away the uncanny coincidental unexplained deaths?

Here they go from listing a litany of ill-health effects, to lamenting that they don't know the health ramification. But they do list a confident inspiring list of organizations, that will make you rest assure that they are on it.

Recent evidence indicates that humans constantly inhale and ingest microplastic through contaminated seafood, including fish and shellfish, Additionally, microplastics have been found in tap water, bottled water, and even commonly consumed beverages, such as beer and salt. In fact, a new study estimates that the average adult consumes approximately 2,000 microplastics per year through salt.

Different chemicals can leach from our plastic water bottles, knives and dermatologic products to enter our bodies. These compounds are linked to serious health issues such as endocrine disruption, weight gain, insulin resistance, decreased reproductive health, and cancer.

From decreasingly smaller plastic pieces being found, what is the effect of microplastics on human health? What does this mean for our health- it is still unknown and a mystery.

But they do list a confident inspiring list of organizations, that will make you rest assure that they are on it.

Based on WHO analysis on the current research related to microplastics, there is currently limited evidence to suggest microplastics are causing significant adverse health impacts. There are major knowledge gaps in scientific understanding of the impact of microplastics and the weight of the current evidence is low to conclude the casualty of adverse effects. Further and more holistic research is needed to obtain a more accurate assessment of exposure to microplastics and their potential impacts on human health.

Anytime these assholes use "Holistic Research" what they mean is the science is settled. They need everyone else to research what they are telling them, citing their sources.

Pretty much the sites pushing this nonsense are the usual suspects. WaPo, UN, WHO, NPR they all make up their own AI story and study, nobody ever cites anything. Or explains how micro beads gets absorbed into the bloodstream and gets into fish. How is it that we may be drinking microbeads in liquids or other foods, but the Scientists are only concerned that somehow we will absorb the microplastics through consuming fish meat, that has somehow miraculously converted microplastic particles into its flesh? Why would our body digest that plastic bit but not a sparkly thing from a soda?

Oh and we do get Alex Jones and Co weighing in though.
