Microplastics are tiny, virtually invisible fragments of plastic between 0.0001 and 5 millimeters. If you are drinking something with 5 millimeter pieces of plastic in it, you will definitely know it!

I suspect they’re not talking about fragments that large being in the water bottles but fragments closer to the 0.0001 mm range that you would never notice.

“Every week, we ingest an average of 5 grams, the equivalent of a credit card,” This defies reason. That means every day you would consume 14% of a credit card. I think you’d have to see that much plastic.

Bottled water is the most abused food product.
Every other product; manufactures, shippers and retailers do everything to limit exposure to sunlight and heat.
Cases of bottled water sit outside, next to store windows and hot warehouses. Purchasers leave them outside, hot cars and beds of trucks in direct sunlight.
Even your tap water, exposure to sunlight is kept to zero until it comes out of the faucet (*not Dr Faucet).

"A recent study by OrbMedia analyzed 159 water samples, sourced from both tap water and bottled water in 14 countries, and found that over 80% of all samples contained tiny plastic particles, with an average of 4.34 plastic particles per liter of water. Even more surprising, 94% of water samples from the United States contained microplastics, which topped the list."

Criticism of author. 5mm is not invisible. 1mm is not invisible. You can feel a 1mm item in your mouth.
