Your immune system controls both how you age and your cancer risk. It is already working overtime against environmental toxins you can't avoid, so why make its job harder by drinking microplastics from heated plastic cups when switching to your own mug is one of the easiest wins you can give it?

Good point. We often talk about diet and stress as drivers of hormonal disruption, but everyday environmental exposures - like hot liquids in plastic-lined cups - are just as significant. BPA and other endocrine disruptors can mimic oestrogen, alter thyroid function, and interfere with metabolic and reproductive health. In functional medicine, we see how these “microdoses” of toxins accumulate, contributing to fatigue, infertility, and inflammatory conditions over time. Small swaps, like using stainless steel or ceramic, may seem trivial but compound into meaningful reductions in toxic load - and better hormonal balance.

This is not true about all tea bags. @BarrysTeaTweets on August 2021 said that all of its teabags are now plastic-free and biodegradable. The teabags are made from a blend of plant-based fibers. I think some other tea companies are doing the same thing.

One annoying problem is many shops here in Canada won't let you provide your own stainless mug. A leftover from COVID sanitation practices. So I mostly stopped buying coffee outside the house.

Better, cheaper practice, make coffee at home with Revers Osmosis water in a stainless or glass French press. Drink out of a stainless or ceramic cup. Avoid expensive coffee shops.

Paper coffee cups are actually lined with plastic. When hot coffee hits that lining, it releases microplastics directly into your drink, your bloodstream, and potentially your brain.

Many to-go coffee cups are lined with plastic And when you pour in hot water or coffee... you're ingesting a slew of chemicals like BPA that leech in Same goes for the microwave, get this: Microwaving food in plastic containers can release over *4 million* microplastic particles into a meal in just 3 minutes (along with the chemicals they carry) You have to live life, but some easy takeaways to avoid the worst offenders: • Bring your own mug to the coffee shop • Don't eat microwave popcorn (the bags are lined with PFAS, aka forever chemicals) • Don't microwave food in plastic containers

1) Paper coffee cups lined with plastic release 55x more toxins when heated. Tea bags release thousands of microplastics per cup. Glass bottles can contain MORE microplastics than plastic (from lid paint). Soluble fiber can prevent microplastic absorption.

Your aluminum cans are lined with plastic. Every soda, sparkling water, and canned drink you consume is leaching microplastics, BPA, and forever chemicals into the liquid. Travel with a stainless steel water bottle. Simple fix. FULL DISCLOSURE: I drink soda water out of aluminum cans.

5 strategies for limiting exposure to microplastics and their associated chemicals: 1) Avoid drinking from plastic bottles 2) Get a reverse osmosis water filter for your home, if possible 2) Avoid heating plastic (this includes drinking from to-go coffee cups, which have a plastic lining) 4) Don't eat microwave popcorn (the bags are lined with PFAS, "forever chemicals") 5) Avoid consuming acidic foods/condiments stored in plastic packaging (the acidity breaks down plastic). One example: Something like balsamic vinegar in a plastic to-go container.

Black plastic utensils and takeout containers are often loaded with carcinogens Coffee cup lids, rotisserie chicken trays, spatulas, and even some straws are frequently made from recycled electronics, bringing brominated flame retardants (known carcinogens) into direct contact with your food/beverage And when that hot food or drink comes in contact, heat dramatically speeds the leaching of brominated chemicals, BPA, and microplastics straight into what you’re about to consume It’s a best practice to minimize use of black plastic utensils and to-go containers, especially if they contain hot food

Canned foods expose you to endocrine-disrupting chemicals like BPA at dramatically higher levels than non-canned alternatives This applies to sardines, too Nearly every can (sardines, tuna, salmon, soup) is lined with plastic, and the "BPA-free" replacement polymers may be as bad or worse as endocrine disruptors An occasional can while traveling or camping is fine, but as a daily habit it's worth rethinking if you care about your exposure to microplastics and their associated chemicals

You can’t escape microplastics—but you can fight back Everyday habits like drinking from plastic bottles, eating canned soup, or microwaving popcorn can quietly expose you to harmful chemicals like BPA and PFAS These toxins can linger in your body for years, increasing your cancer risk The good news? A few strategic changes can dramatically cut your exposure: • Use a reverse osmosis water filter • Avoid drinking, as much as possible, out of plastic bottles and aluminum cans • Avoid heating plastic (this includes drinking out of to-go coffee cups) • Limit consumption of canned soup • Think twice about eating microwave popcorn

Canned foods and drinks expose you to endocrine-disrupting chemicals like BPA at dramatically higher levels than non-canned alternatives This occurs because the plastic lining in aluminum cans leaches BPA directly into your food and beverages One study found consuming a single serving of canned soup daily for just 5 days increased urinary BPA levels by over 1,000% (jumping from 1.1 µg/L to 20.8 µg/L) The key takeaway here is awareness: minimizing canned food and beverage consumption can dramatically reduce BPA exposure and protect hormone health

Microplastics are infiltrating our bodies - they are embedded in arterial walls and raise the risk of heart attack or stroke by 4.5x within three years. Microplastics trigger chronic inflammation and carry harmful chemicals like BPA and phthalates, which impair endothelial function and promote atherosclerosis. Emerging research suggests microplastics may also interfere with mitochondrial function and disrupt lipid metabolism, compounding cardiovascular risks. While we can’t eliminate exposure entirely, there are meaningful ways to reduce it: • Use high-quality water filters (like reverse osmosis systems). • Reduce use of plastic bottles, food packaging, and single-use plastics. • Don’t heat food in plastic containers or use to-go coffee cups lined with plastic. • Consider alternatives like glass, stainless steel, or ceramic for food and beverage storage. Small changes add up. For more on how microplastics insidiously affect our health, check out episode 95 of the FMF podcast. Available wherever you consume podcasts.

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”

One of the simplest ways to cut daily exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals is a water filter. Reverse osmosis is the most effective option. It removes 99% of microplastics and reduces contaminants like BPA/BPS, phthalates, and PFAS (“forever chemicals”), chemicals linked to hormone disruption and neurodevelopmental outcomes like autism and ADHD. Just be aware that reverse osmosis also strips out minerals and trace elements, so it’s smart to remineralize using mineral drops or a mineral supplement. A countertop unit is an easy entry point, and a whole-house reverse osmosis system is another option if you want broader coverage. I consider a quality water filter among the top things people can do to reduce their exposure to plastic-associated chemicals. Clip is from my recent appearance on TRIGGERnometry.

Plastic blenders are a source of microplastics that most people overlook. Those with plastic jars or pitchers release microplastics, and even nanoplastics, into blended food or drinks due to friction and mechanical abrasion during blending. A single 30-second blending cycle can release up to 1 billion (yes, with a "b") micro- and nanoplastic particles. BPA-free products are safer but can still release particles due to heavy use, heat, or abrasion. My advice is to switch to a completely stainless-steel blender. It's the only way to avoid contamination. Thanks to Steven Bartlett for allowing me to audit his kitchen! Check out the full episode.
