plastic man

PLASTIC MAN

i was reading an article about plaque that was removed from an obstruction in a patients carotid artery
Under the microscope embedded in the plaque were microplastics
imagine what it could do if it got other places in your body
if its in those plaques its everywhere else like the kidneys liver heart brain 
even our young girls are having their hormones affected
you name it its there

it likes the brain the best for some reason
ive heard of neuroplasticity
it is good for your brain but not plastics from the environment
neuroplasticity is the brains ability to recover and heal the brain
plastics arent the answer

they found 50% more plastics in the brain on autopsy as compared to 2016 autopsies

the most common plastic is polyethylene found in plastic bags packaging storage containers etc

this plastic showing up in our bodies cant be good for us

i looked around our kitchen
our cheeses are in plastic
our breads are in plastic bags
our leftovers are all in plastic containers
our quickie meals are covered with plastic
my cookies i eat each day are in plastic wraps
our candy is in plastic
our olive oil is in plastic bottles
its everywhere 
this plastic

heck its even in our drinking water
so its in my coffee i drink and the water i drink and the water i cook with

its everywhere

are we going to become the plastic man
i looked at the plastic man on the internet
here is his story in this link
apparently he got a bunch of hot liquid poured on him from a factory that turned him into the plastic man

we are sort of doing it ourselves ingesting all this food wrapped in plastic
now that plastic has been around a long time our food has plastic inside it
meats vegetables produce probably milk probably eggs

but i bet we dont become some superhero like the plastic man
we will just probably get cancer have hormone disturbances have quicker heart disease or sooner dementia
all those plastics getting in our bodies cant be good for us

apparently the world health organization said no harm done as i reach down and i can pull my finger out to about a foot and tie it in knots  and it doesnt hurt

it may not be the atomic bomb that gets us
it may be all that plastic we ingested for years

no 
i dont believe the who
this cant be good for us and our grandkids

i dont want to be the plastic man
