So the mice in this study were fed plastic. It wound up all throughout their bodies, not just in the gut. It affected multiple organs in multiple ways.
A mouse only lives 2-3 years. Human beings eat micro plastics every day in our food supply. The plastic should be able to accumulate in our bodies for a much longer time.
I oftentimes think that perhaps fibromyalgia is micro/nano/pico plastic/mitochondria related.
