I felt a strange urge to buy me some bugs and let them eat my plastic garbage after watching this video 😂
Someone commented that microplastics would still emerge during/after bugs have dealt with plastics.
Do we have any bug existing that could eliminate microplastics as well?
Gluten is neither synthetic nor semisynthetic.
It’s semisynthetic. Gluten doesn’t appear in nature on its own. Just like viscose is a semisynthetic variant of cellulose.
No, it occurs naturally in grains. Fucking look it up. I’m a biochemist, i know this shit. Here, fuck it: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28244676/.
This comment is on the edge for rule 6 “Use appropriate language and tone.” I’d appreciate it if you’d edit the language to be more professional.
Thank you for providing a source in your comment!

The source provided by another user gives a definitive counter argument.
From the article: “ The wheat kernel contains 8%–15% of protein, from which 10%–15% is albumin/globulin and 85%–90% is gluten (Fig. 1).1 Gluten is a complex mixture of hundreds of related but distinct proteins, mainly gliadin and glutenin. Different wheat varieties vary in protein content and in the composition and distribution of gluten proteins.”
