I think its very obvious 1000x microplastics is much better than the lead.

Maybe if you said a billion times.

Okay what's the safe dose of micro plastics? What's the evidence for that dose being safe? Do we have 100 years of data?

The reason we know there isn't a safe dose of lead is a lot of study.

Every month there's a new study about some crazy micro plastics things where they got found in some new place. We're in the early days of figuring out how bad it is. We don't really know yet.
