also it might not help much at all. i just do it for my piece of mind pieces. what a world smh my head.
How much microplastics am I getting when I swallow my boifriends nut?
Probably yes.
I assume the microplastics would be in all parts of the vegetable so might as well get those nutrients 🤷♀️
Anywhere vascular, so you know, everywhere…
My thought process is
I know peeling likely doesn’t do anything much, but I just want to eat my damn vegetables without worrying about malformed cellsa lot of the particles will be stuck on the outside of the vegetable so I’ll remove it by peeling it. Washing it would take those off though, but you do you homie. At least you are eating your veggies…
Yep, particular in the leaves if I read correctly.
microplastics are stored in the balls
So if you get a vasectomy, does that mean the plastic won’t be able do get out?
This is the sort of logic I use for justifying donating blood every 56 days. It probably technically helps reduce the microplastics in my blood, but there’s no way it’s a noticable effect. But I’m going to do it anyway.
Theres actually a study that says the effects are measurable and helpful! https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8994130/
By cooking with fresh vegetables instead of eating industrialized food, you’re already reducing your microplastics intake and helping reduce microplastics in the world
