Summary
Scientists found that common sole (a fish many people eat) can swallow tiny plastic bits from the water and spit some back out, but the plastic still affects how the fish swim and behave. Since these fish end up on our plates, this raises questions about how microplastics move through the food we eat and what that could mean for our health over time.
