#2> According to Chao Wang, an immunologist at Soochow University and coauthor of the study, feeding mice nanoplastics induced a greater overall immune response in their guts than feeding mice larger microplastics.
Still interesting, but yes, this is in mice.

Treatments (in mice) are one thing but hazards (in mice) is a totally different thing. Most things that help a mouse don’t help us. Most things that harm a mouse do harm us.

A good set of mason jars is great for lunches, for salads and pastas and the like. They seal better than tupper, they're microwave-safe, they're standardized so you can get replacement lids easily, and they're pretty rugged. I use metal when the kids are too young for glass.

I guess those things wouldn't be included in 'Most' then.

Metal usually has a plastic coating though, doesn't it?
