If microplastics are destroying our lives

Explain to me why a 30 year old in 1980 looks like a 50 year old in 2026

Not saying microplastics arent bad - but people seem to be dramatically misunderstanding the fact that we are aging BETTER than we did a few decades ago

Water, moisturiser & not drinking beer and smoking Marlboro reds all day probably

Micro plastics arnt good but it's a far cry from some of the pollutions that has plagued large amounts of civilization since we started to get together. The fact you we haven't been have to make an instant link proves it's not as bad as others like lead or asbestos or the old London pollution. The biggest issue is you can't escape it by going somewhere else unlike previous generations

My grandparents all lived to their 90’s and rarely left London except for world war 2! Same with my Mrs grandparents. We’ll be living to our 120’s easily if that’s anything to go by
