Lead was also swept under the rug for forever and there are still people who want to bring it back because of muh culture war. There's significantly less evidence for the harms of microplastics than there was for lead though so we're never seeing it banned.

The harmfulness of microplastics is not being swept under the rug at all

I feel like you guys are just talking out your collective asses.

I think of they tried ban lead in products nowadays people would freakout and protest over it.

There is no direct causal evidence of microplastics being harmful. It is reasonable to assume that they are harmful. Lead had direct causal evidence and banning it was still difficult. Try to read the post I wrote instead of the post you thought I wrote.

The problem is that there are no non-microplastic'd people to compare to
literally everyone has them

Like people freaked out when red states started banning puberty blockers and castrating people under the age of 18?

Presumably you can compare lower load populations to higher, though it might be difficult to pull out a signal from that given that unhealthy food tends to be higher in microplastics lel.
>>82195386
It was very clear for a very long time that lead was harmful and the mechanisms were well understood. I am not denying that microplastics are harmful. Read the words I wrote and stop injecting your own interpretation into them. I explicitly stated that assuming microplastics are harmful was reasonable.

You lied in your first fucking sentence.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microplastics
Take a look at the health section. Microplastic levels have been linked to higher stroke and heart attack risk, they can disrupt gut biome, they can cause low level inflammation constantly, it is all there for you to read. Inflammation in particular combined with the other issues it causes can increase cancer risk. The evidence is already there. Nothing is done because banning plastic use would be several times harder than banning lead. We use it for fucking everything. Cars as they are right now cant work without plastics as well.

There is no direct causal evidence. Everything you're talking about is associations and mostly done in vitro or in murine models. Murine models can not be applied to humans 1:1. From your own article:
"Although the impacts of microplastics on human health are still being tested, their possible effects can be studied through human absorption models of nanomaterials that are produced by various industrial production processes"
Proving a direct causative role of a substance is not trivial.

And it took decades for people to link lead to adverse health effects. Meanwhile, people were poisoned and died from it. Most studies for microplastics are extremely recent and already bringing up enough concern. People like you being midwit faggots are why we never get anything good done. You are the oil industries best friend.

My two second Google shows me that there is plenty of evidence saying that microplastics are harmful

Are you retarded? I have continually said that microplastics are most likely harmful. I would be in favor of finding a way to ban them. My point is that the evidence is not conclusive and no one is going to ban them as is. Until we get very clear, definitive proof I don't see a ban happening at all. Learn to understand nuance, please.

Your AI babble is not based on direct causal evidence. It's based on associations, in vitro studies, and murine models. Go ask ChatGPT if you like AI so much. Ask it "Is there direct causal evidence of harm from microplastics in humans?".

Google AI results pull from real sources. I don't know why you are trying to argue in favor of microplastics. Is this supposed to be bait? What is the point in what you're saying?
