    The human testicles had a plastic concentration almost three times higher than that found in the dog testes: 330 micrograms per gram of tissue compared with 123 micrograms. Polyethylene, used in plastic bags and bottles, was the most common microplastic found, followed by PVC.

    So my balls are to 1/3 made of plastic?

      Ummm there are 1,000,000 micrograms in a gram so 330 micrograms per gram is 0.033% not 33%.

      But I imagine Lance Armstrong is averaging about 50% so who knows.
