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.

Now you need to pay for the Microplastic 365 aka Plastics as a Service.
