That would be good news, and also concerning news

So we can't eat scientists' gloves now? What bullshit!

This is misinformation based on something that can easily be true.

Remember people, micro plastics are found in testicles, it's multicolored and accompanied by large visible pieces that are definetly not from gloves.

No one is saying there are no microplastics. Just that we could be overestimating a little.
