Big News ‼️ The Trump administration says it will decrease the levels of micro plastics in medicines and drinking water New research shows microplastics in the brain could be causing dementia A team “looked at brain tissue from cadavers and found that the average brain could contain up to... 7 grams of microplastics. That's roughly equal to the weight of a plastic spoon, just in the brain” “Research has shown nanoplastics can cross the blood-brain barrier, and one of the startling discoveries from this study showed that in the brains of those who had dementia, there were significantly higher levels of microplastics” “In those dementia cases, there was 5-8x more plastic in those individuals” “In a separate study, researchers found microplastics in placentas, suggesting pre-birth exposure coming from the mother's bloodstream through the placenta in utero. And they found that babies born preterm who face higher rates of complications had a higher concentration of microplastics in their blood” I found 10 common things you can get microplastics from in America Bottled water Tap water Seafood Table salt Beer Tea bags Synthetic clothing Cosmetics Air dust Food packaging Microplastics pollute water, fish eat the feeders who eat the microplastics and that’s why seafood is a source of microplastics We have to stop the plastic pollutionshow more

Still drinking water from plastic bottles? A recent study found that microplastics exposure increases the risks of having a heart attack. (PMID: 38446676) Drinking water from plastic bottles is the biggest source of microplastics. Get plastic out of your life and your health will improve significantly!

Microplastics have been found in 100% of sperm samples tested. Studies show microplastics are linked to abnormal sperm shape and impaired motility, which means sperm can’t move as efficiently—bad news for fertility. 31% of the microplastics found in sperm come from polystyrene, a plastic commonly used in food packaging. Even worse, polyvinyl chloride (PVC)—used in water pipes—breaks down and leaches microplastics into tap water, a major source of exposure. Microplastics often contain BPA, a known endocrine disruptor that mimics estrogen. Research shows that men with higher BPA levels have significantly lower testosterone and reduced sperm quality. Reducing exposure is key: avoid heating plastics, use stainless steel or glass for drinking, and filter tap water with systems like reverse osmosis that remove microplastics. The goal is not panic—but informed action. To learn more about how microplastics impact reproductive health, the brain, the cardiovascular system, and hormones, check out episode 95 of the FoundMyFitness Podcast. Show notes:

Human brains are accumulating microplastics, and the levels are shockingly higher in individuals with dementia A study of autopsied human brains found they contained far more plastic than other organs—up to 20 times more, in fact Even worse, dementia cases showed up to ten times the plastic load of non-dementia cases While causation remains unproven, the evidence is a chilling wake-up call about the potential role of microplastics in neurodegenerative diseases

The human brain is supposed to be our most protected organ—but startling new research suggests otherwise A 2024 study from São Paulo, Brazil, revealed that microplastics are accumulating in the brain at ten times the rate of other organs, bypassing the blood-brain barrier through inhalation and the olfactory pathway Even more alarming, individuals with Alzheimer’s disease were up to 20 times more likely to have microplastics in their brain compared to those without the disease This groundbreaking discovery highlights a strong link between airborne microplastics, neuroinflammation, and the progression of neurodegenerative diseases

Dr. Clint Steele draws attention to a class action lawsuit linking Ziploc bags to dementia. "I did a video on this not too long ago, talking about 750 milligrams of plastic being found in the brains of those that have Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia." "That's the size of a plastic spoon, folks." "So the question is, where are all these plastics coming from?" "There's two ingredients in this plastic bag, called polyethylene and polypropylene, that break down and turn into microplastics. These microplastics are so small that they can actually cross the blood-brain barrier." "And this is how we're finding plastics in the brain." "We've got to get rid of stuff like this because it's damaging our brains and it's leading to end-stage neurodegenerative diseases. So please share this."

Bryan Johnson reveals that water from glass bottles has MORE microplastics than water from plastic bottles ''When you look at the data, the microplastics don't come from the glass, they come from the lid and it's the paint that goes in the lid and then it chips off'' ''That's why it's very counterintuitive. You think a plastic water bottle is made of plastic and a glass water bottle is made of glass. The glass bottle has more microplastics than the plastic bottle. This is why testing is the best thing to do, it's very dangerous to have assumptions''

Bryan Johnson reveals how he reduced microplastics in his body by 87% “Cups you use for hot coffee leach microplastics. The heat causes the leaching of microplastics, so when you're drinking that coffee you are consuming microplastics. So we removed that and a bunch of other stuff like plastic cups, cutting boards, and other plastics from the house, and we dropped my microplastics burden in my body by 87%” “Dry sauna was potentially the cause of reducing microplastics in the body overall”

Microplastics accumulate in your brain 10 to 20 times more than in other organs Even worse, post-mortem studies reveal Alzheimer’s patients have 10x higher levels of microplastics in their brains than people without the disease Every breath you take brings in microplastics shed from clothing fibers, tires, and everyday plastic products, penetrating your brain via your nasal passages Perhaps your best defense? Using a simple HEPA air filter at home

While the destructive environmental impact of plastic is well known, it poses serious health challenges as well. In the last few weeks alone, there have been a couple of studies that have shown the health impact of microplastics. One study found microplastics in the human placenta. Another study found that micro and nanoplastics in key arteries, leading to an increased risk of heart attack. One of the interesting startups we have partnered with through Rainmatter by Zerodha is Zerocircle. They have developed and are scaling alternatives to bio-plastic. Here's Neha the founder, talking to Hansi explaining what inspired her and how seaweed can potentially help us with our plastic problem.

🚨BREAKING: U.S. EPA and HHS are acting together to confront microplastics as a growing public health threat. Secretary Kennedy: “One analysis estimates that the average person ingests tens of thousands microplastic particles each year through food, water, and air. Another study reports concentrations in the brain equivalent by mass to roughly a spoonful of plastic in every human brain.”
