What are biopolymers?
Biopolymers are polymers produced from natural sources either chemically synthesized from a biological material or entirely biosynthesized by living organisms, according to ScienceDirect.
The use of biopolymers from different sources has been investigated for many years for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications.
But sometimes the polymers don’t do well in a human body, it has been claimed.
Per NCBI, one of the clinical consequences, foreign body modelling reaction, may be a precursor of ASIA (Autoimmune/Inflammatory disease induced by adjuvants) syndrome.
Cardi has said in the past that her insecurities pushed her to have surgery.
‘Well, I’m from New York, right?’ she shared.
‘And New York is a melting pot, especially where I grew up in the Bronx.
‘I was really skinny when I was younger, and in the Bronx, it’s about being thick and having an a** so young boys would be like, “Look at your flat ass. You ain’t got no t***ies.”
‘And it would make me feel so ugly and undeveloped,’ she told Interview in February 2021.
