probably, but then i can ingest less micro plastics. Which is probably good.
You're not supposed to eat them.
i literally cannot help myself.
But what about ingesting micrometals
do micro metals even exist in substantial capacity? The problem with micro plastics is that they don't break down and decay until like a gazillion years later, so whatever micro plastics are in your kidneys now, will continue to be in them until you die.
at least its not a single use product, the packaging it comes in is probably a worse contributor
honestly, this might be true. There are definitely worse things to be made from metal lol
