The Spin

Narrative A

As more and more research is being conducted, it's become quite clear that microplastics have permeated everything and everyone. However, as plastic remains an important part of our daily lives, and research has yet to prove exactly how dangerous it actually is to the human body, we should be careful not to overreact with fear.

Narrative B

People have every right to know exactly how much plastic they're consuming and how it's affecting their bodies — from their bloodstream to their reproductive organs. Unfortunately, health agencies like the US Food and Drug Administration try to downplay these risks, leading to the public ignoring this extremely important issue. Government regulators must take this more seriously before it's too late.
