Are you really consuming a credit card’s worth of plastic every week from bottled water? 
A viral video featuring Dr. William Li claims that bottled water exposes us to 5 grams of microplastics weekly—the weight of a credit card! But new research says otherwise.  
A 2019 study made this shocking claim, but a 2022 study debunked it, finding that humans would take 23,000 years—not a week—to ingest that much plastic.  
Yes, we do consume microplastics. But the amount is far smaller than originally thought. Let’s fight misinformation with facts!
