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?

This logic is flawed. If you stand on some scales and pick up a credit card, the scale will measure you are one credit card heavier. You don’t get lighter by adding mass (at least when that mass is also denser then air). And what evidence is there that this plastic in our bodies is additional mass or replaced mass? That is the assumption your logic is based on.
