If you stop drinking from plastic bottles, you will ingest less plastic!

Sure, a movie told us that the future was plastics.  But that movie was a little too prescient.  Now there's plastic everywhere and it's common knowledge we need to ingest less of it.

So from Yahoo News comes: "Stunning Discovery!"

Some doctors put on their thinking caps, got out their word processors (since, as doctors, their handwriting was probably too hard to read) and came to the shocking conclusion that drinking water from disposable plastic containers increases your intake of microplastics.

Hold on to your plastic Dixie cups: 

By switching from bottled water to filtered tap water, exposure went from 90,000 particles to 4,000 particles per year, a reduction of more than 90%, the Post reported.

Yahoo News - the bastion of truth and facts - oops - this time relying on the 'quality' journalism of the New York Post??!  Why not read the original source at Genomic Press Brain Medicine.  We wouldn't want you to think we were making this stuff up.

And while you're at it, why not drop a congratulatory note to Dr. Nicholas Fabiano, Dr. Brandon Luu, or Dr. David Puder - they finally made it into News That Vexes.  Put that on your LinkedIn page, Doc!
