*mice fathers’ microplastic exposure tied to their mice children’s metabolic problems
i know it’s mentioned in the article, but it feels like a pretty misleading title to omit that this study wasn’t done on humans
That being said, mice have such similar physiology to us it’'s likely that what occurs in them probably occurs in us.
It definitely requires a LOT more research, but to poopoo this as “OnLy In mIcE” brushes away the reality of the harm plastic exposure is doing to us.
oh absolutely! it’s vital research & the article seems well-written but still accessible to a lay-person like me.
my only issue was with the editor or whomever wrote the misleading headline (i was expecting to read about a human father), not the article itself & certainly not the researchers.
More shit research with insane levels of plastic pumped into a shit model of human physiology. But let’s call it father’s and children.
To a mouse, they’re probably macroplastics anyways.
This study validates what I suspected
