We keep hearing about plastics, microplastics and now nanoplastics.
First thing, that "stat" that you eat a credit card's worth of plastic each week is complete bunk. The BBC More or Less looked into this. It's not off by 2X or 10X. It's off by more like 1000X to 10,000X for most people.
Second thing, if that credit card of plastic were in small pellets, there would be no worry - they would pass through you.
What researchers are increasingly worried about are nanoplastics that can weedle their way into cells and apparently cross the blood-brain barrier.
