    OT/ Confirmed. Micro Plastic found in human blood.

    When I read this a few weeks a go, I thought I would wait to find out more and that it wasn't a false story.
    It isn't!!
    This is the first time that micro plastic has been detected in human blood and what it means for human health is going to be the next question.......
    A small case study was carried out autonomously on about 22 people....Half of the blood samples contained PET plastic, which is commonly used in beverage bottles, while a third contained polystyrene, a popular material for food and other packaging. The remaining quarter of the samples contained polyethylene used in plastic carrier bags.

    If it wasn't for the other big stories currently on the planet....I think this would have been headlines....instead, it gets put out there for people to find out about for themselves.....The fact that oil and plastic is not just injuring the environment but it is now possibly injuring us humans as well......
    I think you can expect to read and hear more about this story.......

    The reason it's not headlines is because of compensation quote's. The same as any effects the covid vaccines might produce and they have already caused some in blood platelets.
    No the stories that make headlines are the ones we can't do anything about. Trying to scare you into thinking a nuclear war is imminent. In the past those who started war's kept well away from the front line, there's no hiding place now. Negotiation would take place before any escalation. Of course they aren't worried about how many innocent people are killed by conventional weapons, it keeps the masses on their side and is good business for weapon production.
    Even if it had been headlines that plastic is entering your body I doubt many people would bother, the British are very apathetic and easily led. They think corrupt leaders and practices are found in other countries not here.
    The only time the British really get angry is when they move Corrie for football.

    I was thinking more about the implications for health with hydrocarbons now flowing through your system.
    If true the ramifications could be immense. The hydrocarbon could interact with the natural working of the blood.
    Hydrocarbons can attaché more easily to other chemical molecules in the body. Potential for increased clotting but more research needed.
    Remember this is an extremely new finding and will need peer reviews. We could already be withnessing the beginning of symptoms in people...who knows at this stage....
