New research finds that the lactic acid bacteria in kimchi could eliminate nanoplastics from the body.
The World Institute of Kimchi announced on Wednesday that it had injected lab mice with Leuconostoc mesenteroides CBA3656, a type of lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi, and found that their detected nanoplastic levels were more than twice as high as those of mice not injected with CBA3656.

the main problem i see here is that the bacteria is in kimchi, and the nanoplastics are in my body. The solution would be to put kimchi in my body? no fucking way!
I agree, but there’s hope: It says they injected the mice, which implies that a hypodermic needle could be an option.
I have no love of needles, but given the alternative…
