I don't believe there's a spoons worth of plastic in your brain. Ain't no way. It's suspiciously sensational, and confirms something we all believe to be true (plastics bad, humans reckless, etc.). I have zero evidence to the contrary but im pretty confident that in a few years to a decade it will be debunked.

Good news: it's already been debunked! Or at least called into question.

SciShow on youtube is well worth a subscription, their videos are well researched and fact checked.

Planted by big plastic so they can debunk it and say “SEE? THE ENVIRONMENTALISTS LIE TO YOU!”
