“The concentrations we saw in the brain tissue of normal individuals, who had an average age of around 45 or 50 years old, were 4,800 micrograms per gram, or 0.48% by weight,” Campen said.

That’s the equivalent of an entire standard plastic spoon, Campen said.

“Compared to autopsy brain samples from 2016, that’s about 50% higher”

An entire spoon’s worth of plastic in ol’ wrinkly. That doesn’t seem good.

    My brain is already in the dumpster I doubt an extra plastic spoon worth of microplastic would ruin it further.

    Cant wait for the grey plague caused by nanites!
