Like I almost don't believe there's a spoon's worth of plastic in any semi-functioning human brain, that'd be like a pretty big cancer tumor right? Even if completely inert?

I saw bryan johnson take a test like that recently but couldn't find a vendor close to me that I could use. Gathering more data would be a great step in understanding the problem better

I mean, we can eat triglycerides, but the process of digestion breaks them down in order for them to be absorbed, they are then reconstituted as needed on the other side.
What am I missing with regards "plastic" in the context of the article?
