Sure, there are plenty of things to be fearful about in our modern high technological society—the list could go on for pages. But hopefully, this short video will allow most of us to scratch at least one off the list. Namely, YIKES! Micro- or nano-plastics. They’re everywhere, they’re everywhere! They’re going to cause this, that, or that other thing—even death! YIKES!
But take a few minutes to see how honest scientists can make honest mistakes and overlook something that reverses the whole tendency to panic. No panic necessary. But still, there are a few things we need to be especially cognizant of when it comes to what we ingest, and this narrator covers a few of them near the end: PFOA's, phthalates, etc.
I would add the warning to avoid microwaving food altogether. We have written about that in more detail over the years. Although I have had a microwave oven in every house I have lived in for at least the past 40 years, I have (almost) never used it for anything but a storage unit.
But for today, just relax and don’t panic over nano-plastics.
