    I’d cheer to this but I put my nuts in a meatgrinder if these balls aren’t as full of microplastics as my braincells

      That’s exactly my first thought. Whenever I see upcycled things that will just break down into microplastics in nature, I wince.

      It’s almost assured that your brain isn’t filled with microplastics or at the very least much less than claimed. The study that claimed that was pretty flawed. As usual the sensational got media attention but the refuting studies did not.

          It’s for the best. You’re nuts… will… thank you, I guess?
