With the amount of microplastics we're carrying around in pretty much every tissue in our bodies, is our weight measurably different as a result? - eviltoast

If it is, I assume it’s measured in thousandths of a gram or something, but are we all nevertheless a wee bit heavier than we ought to be?

    This only applies if there’s plastic INSTEAD of tissue. In case there’s plastic IN ADDITION to tissue, then it makes you heavier, but it still makes you less dense, so you can float better in water.
