Not surprising since we already have studies that show microplastics get released in things like plastic containers when used in the microwave that's caused due to heat but still good to know and be informed even if I don't use them outside of very occasionally.

So do microplastics harm our bodies? I can't think it'll help, just wanna know the severity to be worried lol

It is already annoying, let's just get this over and simply say if it is made of plastic, even in small part , it will release micro plastics .

Because every other day is another "revelation" of something obvious .

This is clearly one of those: no fucking shit situations

Who the fuck sips hot beverages literally from plastic is not aware or considering the consequences.

Tf is wrong with most people.

I kinda figured that was the case.

Just add it to road tires sloughing it by driving… It’s the new leaded disaster. Thanks oil lobbies.

That's okay, all the individual ingredients are already riddled with micro-plastics, and so are we

I think at this point the environment is so infused with them that it is pointless to pretend we can avoid them.

Oh yeah? Well I'm releasing micro-me's into takeaway cups. Take that, microplastics industry!

"Here, one with extra micro-plastic"

Most coffee drinkers are addicts.

If you're an addict, I see no reason why you wouldn't bring your own steel double wall vacuum mug.

Man, these university researchers just love telling us all the ways we're gonna contract some horrible condition, or disease, or death.

On the other hand, there are probably more carcinogens in city air than microplastic.

But before that, the processing of the various things put in the cups adds microplastics too.
