This MUST be an error: "less than 5mm"

you meant 5 MICRONS, right?!

5 µm is what you need to place here. . .

(5mm is about 1/4"!)

Do you know if Celestial Seasonings teabags contain micro plastics?

" the brain tissue contained about 4,800 micrograms of microplastic per gram —roughly equivalent to the weight of a plastic spoon."

yep, I did the calculation and even weighed a spoon. The numbers come out.

But, too much cognitive dissonance here. . . ha!

Somehow your analysis must be in error:

-- calibration of your mass spec, its absolute accuracy or precision

-- possible interaction of solvent(?) used with brain tissue causing polymerization or ? of organic tissue to remain and be counted as "plastic"?

-- Has this been repeated or just a one time experiment?

-- Has this identical dissolution and measurment process been done on organic tissue that is known NOT to have microplastics in it? Say, chicken bones, venison bones or brain tissue?!

You need to provide what is called detailed background and provenance.

Yes plastic can be a contributor ..but decades ago my father in law started showing signs of

Alz in early 70s.. lived to 87 unable to even communicate.. I got him off of Statin

Drugs but there were other causes to consider…aluminum from the chem trails ..found in all alz autopsied brains.. also consider the herpes virus and esp lyme bartonella and other parasites . Brain tumors when opened… showing parasites crawling out . Plus the jabs are causing alz in the younger people now…even if not v@xed . Shedding is real !
