There's an even more accessible way to pop popcorn. Add oil to a pot, heat it on the stove and dump in some kernels. Optionally cover with a lid.

It's even better because you can pop in whatever fat you want. If you toss the salt in there while popping then it'll evenly distribute across your popcorn as well.

This is expensive and time consuming
Because this is not a permanent solution (the patient will get reinundated with microplastics shortly after the procedure), they will need reapplications throughout their whole lives. Thus, this will likely only be available to the ultrarich.

The article does point out that prevention is still the best solution. But the corpos make that hard.

So bags of popcorn should be avoided like the plague, unfortunately.

Unfortunately? Popcorn is the least flavorful thing in existence. Just find some other bland edible material and put your toppings on that instead.

The article already says everything you said. It’s not a “solution” to anything. It’s a small step to show that this is even possible. Perhaps it will help some people whose condition makes them extraordinarily sensitive.

I swear people will find a way to shit on virtually anything and turn absolutely everything into class war.

There are other ways to lower the amount of plastic in you. If you donate your blood you can measurably lower your pfas levels. Really just removing blood which carries plastic through your whole body will also lower your concentration of plastics. Because plastic is in the water, make sure you drink filtered water. They do make filters that will catch micro plastics and some will advertise it. If you want to keep your levels lower avoid hydrophobic coatings that sit next to food for extended periods of time and definitely don't heat that food next to a hydrophobic coating. Think microwaving food in a container with coatings that'll leach into the food. So bags of popcorn should be avoided like the plague, unfortunately.

How many lemmings do you know that actually read the full articles? If an article interests me enough to read it, I usually try to summarize it in the comments, and, yes, point out its flaws.

Your comment reads more like a rebuttal than a summary. If you intend to summarize the article for lazy lemmings, that’s cool, but present it as such.
