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...

The more research that comes out around microplastics, the more alarming this becomes. We’ve got to get our food and water cleaned up to the point that this isn’t poisoning our people!

One potential explanation: we know that poor sleep is often a determining factor for dementia. Why? Because it prevents NREM sleep from doing it’s proper hygiene (removing waste products released by neurons). So waste products accumulate. Plastic is probably also part of this detoxifying system.

Is there a test that can detect plastic and amounts in a living human? Any research on how to flush microplastics out of our brains?

In today's world, micro and more so nano plastic is everywhere. You can drastically reduce exposure to it, but you can not eliminate it.

We may be able to slow the additional accumulation of microplastics in the environment, but there seems to be little we can do to lower the pre-existing levels. They are everywhere, especially in sea salt, seafood and they are airborne like some kind of artificial diatoms.

Can autophagy break down microplastics?

So how do we skip foods with microplastics is there a list ?

How do you get it out of your brain

Ziplock Bags are now involved in a class action lawsuit after being linked to causing dementia “I'm Dr. Clint Steele. I'm a brain and nervous system specialist and I help people just like you improve your life by improving your brain function, specifically around, preventing and in many cases reversing dementia and Alzheimer's disease. For those of you that follow me, 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 question is, where are all these plastics coming from? — What they're finding here, guys, is this an SC Johnson claims that Ziploc bags are safe to use in extreme conditions, meaning for freezing and also for heating in their microwave. Now for any of you that are doing this, guys, and this is one of the reasons I don't do this, because it doesn't make sense to me to put this in the microwave. It's going to melt, it's plastic. It's going to get into my food. That's not good for me. So if you're doing this, you got to stop. Here's what happens. There's two ingredients in this, 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 — Get the plastics out of your life as much as you can. And especially these” “Please guys, share this. I'm out to save 1 million lives from dementia and Alzheimer's disease and I need your help. And 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. I love you. I'm Dr. Clint. Let's save more lives”

Every week, the average person ingests up to the equivalent of a 5-gram credit card in plastic. Microplastics are now thought to accumulate in the brain at 10 to 20 times the rate as other organs and, worse still, are 10-times higher in the brains of people who died from dementia. Most major organ systems are impacted. While the consequences of the pervasive presence of microplastics are still being understood, the microplastics themselves are carriers of harmful chemicals like BPA, phthalates, and PFAS. These harms are less ambiguous. Acting as a xenoestrogen, BPA, for example, has strong evidence that it affects multiple dimensions of child development ranging from the neurological to sexual and behavioral. Pregnant women with high BPA levels are six times more likely to have a child diagnosed with autism by age 11 compared to those with lower levels. Multiple lines of converging evidence demonstrate both reproducibility and even mechanism: BPA suppresses the aromatase enzyme, leading to anatomical, neurological, and behavioral changes in male mice that mirror aspects of autism spectrum disorder. In a study of 40 healthy young men, all were found to have microplastics present to some degree in their semen. Men with elevated BPA levels have lower sperm quality, reduced testosterone, and abnormal sperm morphology. The cardiovascular system is not spared. Microplastics have been found embedded in arterial plaques, and their presence correlates with a 4.5-fold increase in the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Cancer risk is another alarming aspect. Childhood exposure to phthalates is associated with a 20% increase in overall cancer risk and nearly a threefold increase in specific cancers like osteosarcoma and lymphoma. BPA's estrogen-mimicking properties have been linked to breast cancer development, promoting the growth of estrogen-sensitive cells and disrupting normal hormonal regulation. My latest episode will no doubt stir some anxieties, but were not powerless. Also discussed are actionable ways to minimize exposure by avoiding the worst offenders.
