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... show more

It’s good that we have startups coming up to address these issues. Plastic is everywhere - from the food we eat to the air we breathe and even in our soil. Microplastic pollution poses serious threats to our health, disrupting hormones and leading to issues like high blood pressure, fertility problems, weakened immune systems, and even cancer. It’s time to address this pervasive issue for the sake of our well-being and the planet.

This is insane “Guess how many microplastics they found in a can of Coke?” - Plastic bottles contain 250,000 microplastics per liter - There are 3.7 million in a single can of Coke Read that again. “The numbers just mean that on a daily basis we are ingesting millions and millions of nanoplastics And if you look at this — they've been found in every single man that's ever been studied in their testicles. They've been found in brain, ovaries, kidneys, every organ in our body is full of these particles. They can directly be damaging to our ability to produce hormones” There is also research that shows microplastics are being going in our brains. In fact our brains are now 0.5% plastic according to a study by the National Institutes of Health This has to stop, we need revolutionary change and regulations against microplastics

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 pollution

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

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:

🚨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.”

Plastic drink bottles are being left in the sun before being sold in America This is a big deal because of microplastics. Just one day of sitting in the sun releases thousands to tens of thousands of additional microplastic particles Heat accelerates plastic degradation, increasing chemical and microplastic leaching It gets worse in the sun, higher temperatures break down chemical bonds in plastic. This causes more microplastics to leach into the drink A 2024 study found an average of 240,000 plastic particles per liter in bottled water, with 90% being nanoplastics (smaller than 1 micrometer) and 10% microplastics (1-5 mm) What’s happening here with these drink bottles being left in the sun behind stores is very common, I’ve shared multiple videos of this same thing happening. It happens with sports drinks and water bottles

According to Dr. Clint Steele, Ziploc bags are linked with 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."

Researchers in Auckland, New Zealand, have found that penguins are more drawn to interacting with harmful white plastic than plastic of other colors. This latest study, conducted at Auckland’s Kelly Tarlton’s Sealife Aquarium, adds to previous research showing that the majority of plastic found in seabirds’ guts is white in color. Dr. Ariel-Micaiah Heswall, a researcher at the University of Auckland, described white plastic as “a triple threat,” saying that “it’s found more commonly in the ocean, it’s found more commonly in their guts, but now it’s also preferred by the penguins.”

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''

STUDY: CHEWING GUM PACKS A MICROPLASTIC PUNCH Love to chew gum? You’re also likely munching on microplastics. Researchers found that each stick of gum can release about 100 microplastics as you chew. The culprit: the gum’s base, made from a plastic polymer. Health experts are raising the alarm, pointing out that these tiny plastic bits can cling to bacteria and may pose health risks. As gum chewing stays popular worldwide, this new study shows it’s not just your teeth that take a hit, it’s a ‘fresh’ reminder that microplastics are everywhere, even in our favorite treats. Sounds like something Robert F. Kennedy Jr needs to look into. Source: CBS

In Geneva, negotiators from 175 nations are trying to hammer out the first-ever legally binding treaty on plastic pollution. The key sticking point is whether it should mandate cuts in plastic production. Oil-producing nations — including the United States — oppose that, as fossil fuels are a key ingredient in plastics. The urgency of the talks was underscored this week by a new study published in The Lancet medical journal. It calls plastics a “grave, growing and under-recognized danger to human and planetary health.” John Yang spoke with Tracey Woodruff, PhD, MPH, one of the authors of the study, for more.
