Plz spoiler this. I know it’s important to see and have on my feed and I’m glad it is, but not everyone here has the benefits of privately viewing their feed.

My wife is the more knowledgeable one, but a meta-analysis is basically when you combine all the data of similar studies on a subject. It can expose studies that are bad within the data set and better assess the efficacy of the techniques used in a study. Compare that to what was done here, which was mostly just cherrypicking and highlighting the issues of a handful of studies.

I encourage you to give a peek at the counter counter-arguments! There is some jargon, but there is decipherable stuff in it (moreso than the original papers imo). One of them says something to the effect of “we had to skip the standard control because the control was in a container that was releasing microplastics” which I would consider reasonable.

I called this a hit piece because the person they quote about it being a “bombshell” works for DOW Chemical.

This is a hit piece, echoes of big oil & tobacco. It’s picking studies that have (debatable) issues, then is casting a wide net that is encouraging doubt of all microplastics in the body studies. They take the time to explain why these can be ignored, but depend on you to go read the counter-counterarguments made by the original researchers of each study yourself.

Rauert says there are absolutely nanoplastics in our bodies, but micro plastics are unlikely due to their size.

It doesn’t do a meta-analysis of all MNP studies and doesn’t disregard bad criticisms or biased voices (Kuhlman). It’s also sensationalised.

Which locations weren’t impacted by the first trump administration’s education department or no child left behind?

I’ve been skeptical of these, how is it known that it impacts no other insects?

The issue is the “some problem” with windows literally cannot be fixed and they’re asking for a solution.

Yeah well when they keep testing the headphones with Taylor Swift of course it’ll come up toxic

That one drowned in a vat, Simulacrum Prime runs the syndicate now

Bold to assume there is a non-simulacrum Zuck

Homer practiced oral history, written 1st ed would’ve been someone else, Plato perhaps

It’s a user group

You’re sort of right it’s not all of them with lead, just the biggest disposable brands with toxic metals. ELF, ESCO, JUUL, SMOK MODS, Flum Link to research. They’re already illegal in the US, but are still widely distributed and sold here with no signs of slowing.

There’s lead in virtually all of them.

I encourage you to eat a bean straight and report back on the flavor

Likely you’ve become accustomed to it and I’m a little jealous. As a non-coffee drinker, when I have rarely needed it, it’s always a burnt flavor, no matter how mild the roast.

I got news for you… it’s all burned

Peace for me not for thee or something
