    Turns out, plastic bottles put plastic into your system.

      I really hate these headlines. “100 times more!!! Will somebody think of the children!!!”

      A better headline would express if this is actually concerning or not for our health. 100 times more than an insignificant quantity can still be an insignificant quantity.

        Let’s put it this way: it’s infinitely more plastic than would be in your body under natural circumstances.

          They want you to accept your role in a capitalist society. There’s no need for numerous public water fountains if you can pay for water, and since you’re not paying for the premium glass bottles, you should accept some microplastics.

        Or, society could actually provide a lot of public fountains, but that might mean taxing the richest to the point where they only have enough money for a hundred lifetimes, instead of a thousand lifetimes.

      I mean bottled water even tastes like plastic so it should be no surprise to anyone.
