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....

Now that these harms are well-documented, there is going to be a reasonable case for criminal liability.

But they collected the samples in plastic cups...

I run a small farm, and you'd be amazed at how much plastic gets added to growing areas through organic compost that contains post-consumer plastic waste.

Is there a way to detoxify?

Does the chemical that mimics estrogen have an impact on the development of children? For example, could it cause males to develop more female characteristics?

New kinds of survival skills include all sorts of detoxification methods to remove synthetic estrogens, micro plastics, heavy metals, poisons, by food and supplements.

Totally agree on the message. It's not about freaking out. It's about making SMART choices with things you CAN control.

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.

Microplastics in Arteries Associated with ~350% higher prevalence of Heart Attack, Stroke and Death ☠️ In this video ( I cover the new NEJM data, and provide 11 tips to reduce Microplastics exposure 👉 n = 257 people followed for ~34 months 👉 4.53 Hazards ratio of Heart Attack, Stroke and Death if microplastics and nanoplastic particles (MNPs) were in their carotid arteries 👉 Those with MNP and no MNPs detected were similar along other risk parameters 11 tips 👉 Don't eat packaged food (duh!) 👉 Don't heat plastic (double duh!) 👉 Avoid those plastic baggies at groceries stories for buying produce, if possible 👉 Avoid cans, or look for BPA-free cans 👉 Natural fabric clothing (wool, cotton) > Polyester 👉 Same for carpets... and vacuum! 👉 Avoid synthetic sponges and brushes. You can buy those made of plant cellulose or coconut fiber, etc. instead 👉 Avoid heavy traffic roads (keep windows up during heavy traffic) 👉 ❌🦐🦪🦞 (NOOO!!!!! UGHHH!!!!) 👉 There are self-care products, e.g. toothpastes, deodorants etc. that are low or no microplastics 👉 OF COURSE... don't use plastic water bottles. Bad for you and bad for 🐢 'Mr. Dude' (if you get the Nemo reference) Check out video: paper: nb: *A criticism of the data in this paper will be that they are "associative." This was an "observational" trial, not an RCT. Technically, causality isn't proven. However, it's important to keep in mind that (1) You can't do an RCT on this topic with hard outcomes... you can't randomize a group a humans to microplastics exposure and then monitor for the outcomes of heart attack, stroke and death. (2) These data are consistent with prior work and have biological plausibility, i.e. there are data that microplastics can induce an inflammatory and immune response, signs of which we also see in this paper with the increase in immune cell activation markers and inflammatory cytokines (3) In general, the "cost" to reducing microplastics is inconvenience at most. If you choose to drink filtered tap water out of your own stainless steel bottle, rather than bottled, at absolute worst you get negligible health benefit and that water bottle doesn't end up in the ocean as pollution.
