Bet there's microplastics even in water. Did read there is teflon in water too a few years back. Seems a good fit for here.

    Did people not know that about artificial sweetener. People were talking about artificial sweetener being carcinogenic as common knowledge for at least 10 years

      that was based on mice or rat studies and completely unreasonable doses so most of us rightly ignored it

        As I'll probably ignore this one. Lots of things are in the "possibly carcinogenic" category. It's only slightly less meaningless than rat studies with absurd doses.

      Hell, Weird Al Yankovic even mentions it in his song Dog Eat Dog, and that was in 1986.

      Well, do I smell jelly donuts? This is my lucky day / I'll have some coffee with a carcinogenic sweetener
