This is the text (if you need help).

Scientists write a lot about nanoplastics. These are smaller than one millionth of a metre. A new study found that bacteria from the Korean dish kimchi can help to remove nanoplastics from the body. The World Institute of Kimchi found a microbe that sticks to nanoplastic. It takes nanoplastics out of our bodies.

There are many side effects of nanoplastic. We may have seven grams of it in our body. This is about the size of a credit card. Scientists believe their research might help to reduce the plastic in our bodies. They believe fermented food like kimchi could be a new way to fight the nanoplastic problem.

Back to the kimchi and nanoplastics lesson.
