Our brain contains alarmingly high levels of microplastics
The plastic accumulation appears to be growing over time.
Blood donation can help reduce Micoplastics and PFAS in your blood. So if you haven't given blood in a while it's worth it for a personal benefit as well as a social one.
Too much shitposting in this thread.
So what I’m hearing is I have upcycled dinosaur bones growing in my brain… sounds pretty badass.
Good, hopefully the plastics will eventually replace the gray matter entirely.
No, plastic in the brain will not replace gray matter. Microplastics can be harmful and cause inflammation, cell damage, and other health issues, but they won't substitute or transform brain tissue.
When they said the brain is plastic, this isn't what I thought they meant...
"Our Brain"? So we're down to just one to share amongst us now? But, but... I don't wanna be a Republican!!!
I didn't know we had a brain.
It's good in the long run, it will help preserve our tissues so when we go extinct, some beings will have better samples to study.
but it's not how microplastics work. Microplastics are tiny plastic particles that have been found in various parts of the human body, including the brain. However, their presence is usually harmful and can cause inflammation, cell damage, and other negative health effects.
The amber of our time
