After 30 years of putting plastic in the microwave … I think I'm fine, definitely not worrying about my sperm count ;)

Obviously, it's good they study this, but apparently the microplastic is already in everything and we don't really know what it's doing to humans. Good luck, trying to convince the fossil fuel industry to produce less plastic.
