Plastic Man

Timothy Birdnow

American Thinker has a terrific article about microplastics in the human body and why the latest media panic is probably wrong. The same flawed techniques have been used to repeat research that finds evidence we are all swimming in plastics (fatty acids give the same signature). Once again it's the Michael Crichton theory of the use of mass hysteria to promote societal change "state of fear".

This is a good read.

BTW I remember researchers found that much of the plastics seen in the slides of these alarmists was actually residual plastic from their latex gloves.

My question; will we develop super powers like the comic book Plasticman and learn to stretch way the heck out? I sure would like to be able to do that when I'm watching t.v. and need to grab something.

1 I'm with you, Tim. There are too many things in our kitchen that I can't reach and have to ask my wife to get them down for me. Or I have to haul out the rickety step stool to do it myself, which is dangerous.
