Comment on With the amount of microplastics we're carrying around in pretty much every tissue in our bodies, is our weight measurably different as a result?

are we all nevertheless a wee bit heavier than we ought to be?

Physics says, most plastic is lighter than water. Your body’s overall density has decreased. That makes you a wee bit lighter.

Statistics says, sick people lose weight, and microplastic makes people sick. That makes our average weight even lighter.
