I'd cheer to this but I put my nuts in a meatgrinder if these balls aren't as full of microplastics as my braincells

That's exactly my first thought. Whenever I see upcycled things that will just break down into microplastics in nature, I wince.

Your nuts are also full of microplastics

It's almost assured that your brain isn't filled with microplastics or at the very least much less than claimed. The study that claimed that was pretty flawed. As usual the sensational got media attention but the refuting studies did not.
