Throw out your microwave? Do you actually have any study to back that up? Isn't is just avoid heating things in plastic container in the microwave?
Throw it away if you cant control yourself from buying microwavable junkfoo….
Dealing with eliminating potentially endocrine disrupting chemicals is much harder for me than nutrition and exercise. They are everywhere (as you mentioned), even in the water, air, and food supply.
In today's world there's no such thing as eliminating. We can only reduce it.
It's recommended to snap one off at least twice a day because the pollutants are concentrated in spunk.
Lol
@@dimitar297 wouldn't hurt anything. 😉
@@dimitar297plus it’s just plain fun.
This is exactly why I started making my own skin care and soaps years ago. Crazy what is allowed in our food and skin products.
What do you use to moisturize your face? That’s the only product I haven’t made my own of because I haven’t found a good substitute.
I just stopped using all "skin care" products.
Wash with warm water and scrub with a hand towel.
That whole "skin care" industry is a total scam.
@@thecrow4597 I do an organic castor oil hexane free mixed with vitamin E and C serum and either jojoba oil or tallow. It is shear and soaks in within a minute.
@@thecrow4597beef tallow or beef tallow mixed with a good quality olive oil (not mixed with seed oils).
I make my own soap now too. I use lard, tallow, coconut oil and olive oil.
I think suggesting ridiculous things like “get rid of your microwave” without a reason is going to make a huge number of people not trust you. Why get rid of the microwave???? I’m not gonna. I’ve eliminated plastic from my life and most of this is great advice.
Agreed. The part about getting of the microwave threw me off immediately
I love the Presto stainless steel coffee percolator, would never go back to dripping hot water through plastic
I use a French press, that's another good alternative.
I never thought about plastic parts on a coffee maker until this very moment. Now I think about all the little details. I have changed to protect my health... While all along, day after day, year after year, I consume numerous cups of coffee brewed in a machine comprised of mainly plastic parts.
I’ve been actively avoiding endocrine disrupting chemicals for nearly 20 years now. I thought I had low testosterone but I had my levels checked last year and it was 1020 ng/dl at 40 yrs old.
Is that a good level?
(checking to see if you're a man)
@@worldbeing8305 I wear mostly natural materials and sleep on an organic latex mattress. I drink either form glass or steel containers. I look up ingredients of various products on EWG's Cosmetic Database to see if they contain any potential endocrine disruptors.
@@mballer It's in the 98th percentile for men my age.
@@jzen1455 thats amazing what is your daily routine in terms of diet and exercise?
WOW! Well done.
Thanks for sharing this timely information
Trying real hard to make meals at home, grass fed beef, organic veg/fruit. Air fresheners activate my allergies, cannot touch anything with microban on it.
Got rid of antibacterial soaps years ago because the soap killed my septic tank....
How long does it take for something wrapped in plastic to become negatively effected by the plastic?
I think it depends on what it is. Fatty foods & acidic foods leach the chemicals more readily, so probably faster too.
Not only are these chemicals ubiquitous, but they're literally everywhere. 😅
great info
Does the Lancet say don't use a mircowave and throw it away or is that your opinion? Is that mainstream science too?
Mike I have recommended you to so many! Great show.
microwaves work with glass containers for reheating, so why get rid of microwaves?
No freaking way we regular folks can avoid it 100%
What's the problem with microwaves? Have you made a video about them?
So we’re supposed to just sit here like SpongeBob and filter feed? Sure thing.
👍
My neighbors on both sides use very strong drier sheets and air fresheners. The super strong smells come in through my windows when I try to get fresh air in my home. We live in the desert, yet they are always burning a "warming fire" that stinks up my house even with the windows closed. Both families are obese with health issues.
Could you elaborate on why we ought to get rid of microwaves? The best reasons I can think of are that they’re an occasion for mistakes, such as microwaving plastics by mistake - or perhaps being too near the microwave, but microwave radiation is non-ionizing, and only even potentially dangerous at its highest power. That’s as far as I have learned, anyways.
Thanks in advance for any comments or clarifications!
What would your comment be on the hand sanitizers in the hospitals? As a health care professional, it’s hard because hand hygiene is such a big component in all points of care. I try to wash my hands more than the sanitizer.
Could you speak to getting blood tests for these chemicals?
Great video Mike.
Can you tell me more about the issue with microwaves? I haven’t heard much in regard to this.
I think it's more about the type of dishes you are heating. The microwave is OK. Just use glass or ceramic to hold your food instead of plastic or foam.
By the way we wear natural fibers clothing, linen, wool, hemp, organic cotton works for us. No commercial 🛌 and we use handmade Hammocks in our home. Wood floors. Eating clean helps us a lot......... drinking fresh spring water 💧since 1991
I don't understand why the microwave is associated with heating up plastic? Is it because most people in America use it for ready meals or stuff in plastic bags?
I just use a microwave safe glass dish for the microwave (to defrost or cook whole foods) and I don't see where the plastic heating problem comes in. If I'm wrong please correct me 🤔
We Americans commonly store leftovers in Tuberware (food plastics).
yeah exactly think of TV dinners, ramen cups or leftovers in plastic containers. Glass is OK.
We're all gonna make it brazzz
Zyzz didn’t make it
So dont eat, wash, or breathe and you'll be fine.
Terrible the world we have created for ourselves and the children. Ugh
thank you!
What's wrong with microwave cooking?
Good question.
I cook in glass.
Nothing
Finding an alternative to a typical plastic coffee maker might be beneficial since the hot water runs through the various plastic parts. I use a steel mesh funnel that I simply place on the mug. When the coffee reaches a certain mark just lift it a bit. Cheap, minimalist, and plastic free.
French press can do tea and cold brew as well!
Yes I got rid of all plastic based coffee makers. I bought a glass pour over style coffee maker that uses a steel mesh basket. It's not totally perfect as the frame holding the mesh is plastic, but it's less intrusive than all those plastic type coffee Makers.
But you got me thinking maybe using a full metal mesh sieve for the ground coffee 🤔
why is microwaving coffee in a ceramic mug harmful?
It's not
hey so this is a really deep dig but I want to see if anyone might have input on something extremely important to me about this:
during my time in the US military I developed a curious hormone disorder that still has not gotten a further diagnosis than general endocrine disorder.
Talking to former friends from my same boot camp training class, many were suffering from the same things, and we all reminisced about a "funny" story: from day 1, not a single one of us 17-21 year young men woke up with "morning wood" not a single one, for 3 months the day after inoculations and other unknown mandatory substances
with the implications I built up: I am aware of the potential myth of salt-peter, and also thoughts regarding testosterone drop after over-exertion exercise (that is why I mentioned the issues starting from day 1, when we would not start any actual training for another week) also no exposure to burn pits, chemical weapons or foreign disease contact for reference
anyone have any ideas? or just generally understand my train of thought and where I am going with all of this?
for reference, my testosterone was tanked, Est. elevated, but test naturally skyrockets (800ng+) while on аnаstrozole/aromatase inhibitors (which is an absolute nightmare trying to get physicians to prescribe me, its a fight to get them on the same page for something I genuinely need badly)
Yes I have a medical background (not endo specialized obviously) and was a fitness / diet trainer that practices what I preach, to add even more context about potential relevant factors
American military personnel are fed low quality food and are jabbed with every jab available.
Can you explain why microwaves are bad? ive seen so much mixed research.
Is there a good natural laundry detergent that doesn’t fade clothing? That’s the issue I have run into in the past and why I still use Tide. 🥺
They use chemicals called optical brighteners,to artificially keep your clothes bright.fading is part of the natural process of clothing
Here's a trick that helps: add some powdered dishwasher detergent to the water.
Although they banned phosphates from laundry detergent, many powdered dishwasher detergents still contain it and it works wonders for cleaning laundry.
But if you're looking for something all natural, you're out of luck. I don't care what people say or what companies say, all those "natural" cleaners don't work for crap.... It's nothing but marketing.
Please don’t come at me rudley if the answer is obvious
But because my girls are little 2 yearn old and have broken plates cups I put their food in those little plastic bowls they sell at Walmart for toddlers are those bad as well?
Minimizing plastic is the goal whenever possible, but especially with anything that contacts our food. Perhaps a wooden bowl could be a good alternative.
If it’s a very hard plastic and doesn’t get heated, it should be fine, but a stainless steel dish might be better
Microwave?
what is wrong with microwaving things, given that you are microwaving healthy foods from meal prep and they are not stored in any plastic and not heated up in any plastic?
What's wrong with microwaving food?
Huge value here, thanks for the info.
I’ve always wanted to avoid these things
Microwaves are bad with no explanation?
You can microwave in ceramic or glass , you know ? .
Microwaving also depletes food of any remaining nutrition.
@@fawkes1570healthprove that
@@fawkes1570healthI doubt that. Happy to be corrected, but essentially a microwave just uses micro waves to agitate water molecules to generate heat.
I remember when that rumor started, and it seems to be still circulating, mostly in Facebook.
I think microwaves destroy the quality of some foods, but this is a flavor and texture thing, not a nutrition thing.
@@jacquie212 there's plenty of research proving otherwise.
@@fawkes1570health source… because Harvard medical and national institute of health say not
What about restaurants that cook food in plastic bags using Sous Vide method?
I really doubt people have wooden bowls or enough porcelain to completely remove chances of using plastic in the microwave. Although I understand your sentiment about microwaves because I feel the same, I still keep mine because it is a clock and a timer and I haven't used it for anything else in many many years. It was my friends from when we were teenagers and he gave it to me after his dad died. It's probably still safe to use but again it's just a clock and a timer
You should have plenty of glassware in a home. I’ve never needed to microwave in plastic.
@@IVEdge i bake in Pyrex. Most prepared meals come in plastic. Folks aren't dumping them out that's the point
All FDA approved.
My man i know you aint on that juice but you done put on some muscle so fast. I see the difference especially in your face
Yes, i won't be throwing out the damn microwave, sorry. I will stick with eating healthy food, intermittent fasting, exercise, and cold showers.
Honestly I feel high antioxidant, and detoxification methods are more effective than avoidance
What’s wrong with drinking from cans ?
Lots of them are lined with plastic
ALL BS
NOTHING
So basically don’t do anything. Except don’t be doing nothing inside your poor air quality house. Lol
@ 3:52 index, I thought Titanium Dioxide was considered bad for your health.
🤔
It is but only when its inhalable.
Do you think chickens that eat grain and soy (even micro plastics,) will affect humans? Doesnt the chickens digestive system break down grain and soy on biomolecular and chemistry level? so if a human eats the egg, it’s just protein and fat.??
It could be a problem for sure...
@@Highintensityhealth thanks for following up. Your information has changed my life.
There are recent studies showing that the eggs produced from free range chickens are nutritionally superior to those produced from caged chickens that were fed grains.
I can't remember the exact breakdown and RUclips doesn't allow posting links, but the research is out there if you look.
Why are microwaves bad for human health?
They aren’t; unless you directly heat yourself to an unhealthy extent which involves high power like open ovens and radar systems.
@@soylentgreenb Lol that would be too much. I don´t know why Mike said that microwaves are unhealthy
Contentious comment about microwaves being bad, generating a mass of comments with no citation - great for the algorithm and your channel - but nothing else.
Move to the country. Do hard labor like chopping firewood & bucking hay & riding herd. In the sunshine. Drink well water. Avoid fast foods & processed foods. Eat red meat. Lots of it. Purge your home of plastics. Country boys don't have testosterone issues. City boys that spend their days inside & workout inside a gym (accomplishing nothing) & eat out & play video games while they're eating chips & drinking soda definitely do. Choices.
One huge problem with the country is pesticides; in the air, soil and water. Most of my farmer neighbours will spray on the windiest days, and i know for a fact they are mixing their sprays more concentrated than the manufacturers recommend.
I should’ve thought of that how stupid of me I’m packing my bags right now
Can you recommend a healthy shampoo and conditioner product line?😊
I usually just use the Alaffia brand, it's local to me and seems to be high quality.
Avoid sodium laurel sulphate / sulfate & parabens in shampoos.
Most hair conditioners are made from petroleum.
Read labels.
Rinse hair with vinegar or stale artisan beer for softness.
Thank you.
I had a feeling I should be avoiding the microwave thanks for confirming👍 Dang gotta finish my meals then
air fryer or toaster oven for reheating food is the way to go
What's wrong with microwave?
I reheat using a stove, pots and pans.
@zblus, As long as you’re not microwaving in plastic, nothing.
The air fryer usually has plastic being heated, so a microwave with glass or ceramic is the best move
Dr Bronner's for most cleaning is good stuff.
Do you use it for dishes?
@@NataliaKarnaukh yes, for dishes I use their Sal.Suds
I recently started wearing organic cotton clothes, socks, underwear etc and this zappy electrical sensations that ran through my body have gone away. Interesting
This is smart!
Could you please recommend where you get your cotton clothes from
What type of mattress do you sleep on? Most mattresses are treated with endocrine disrupting flame retardants. I personally sleep on an organic latex mattress that uses wool as a flame retardant.
@@jzen1455 i currently sleep on a couch with organic linens. I need to save up for a good quality mattress.
I developed severe ENV sensitivity ~ 12 years ago; dryer emissions and off gassing from people
who use chemically scented laundry detergent/fabric softener = ONE of my major nemeses.
I like open windows but my home is surrounded by dryer vents ... even one molecule causes
symptoms. Used an IQAir Filter since 2014. I remain vigilant on entering all commercial offices -
Air freshners, hand sanitizers etc etc etc
Zero VOC paint is now available -
Hey now, there is nothing wrong with microwaves unless you are cooking bacteria. Wise up alittle bit or I'll stop falling asleep to you.
I missed something about not having a microwave, someone fill me in?
Dog poop is an endocrine disrupting chemical? Come on!
Def don't use titanium dioxide tho 😅
The problem is everything is or has been stored in a plastic container at some point, even if you buy a jar of tomato sauce in glass how do you know the manufacturer doesn't use plastic during the manufacturing?
What if air filters contain plastic glue; What's HEPA filters made out of? There's probably some plastic in there to make the paper fiber stick together. The back end of a vacuum has a HEPA filter that blasts piping hot air through a plastic infused HEPA filter for you to breath in.
Low T and high Estrogen is probably the future for humanity; How come all these plastic chemicals are able to stick to the estrogen receptors and none go for the testosterone receptors? It's like the estrogen receptors accepts anything and testosterone is super picky.
I haven't read about a single chemical that accidentally mimics testosterone.
Can't wait to get out of here. Do phalates also go to heaven?

I trick I learned to tell if your microwave oven “leaks”: Put a cell phone in the microwave, shut the door. (Don’t turn the oven on!) Then call your phone from another cell phone. If your phone rings, microwaves can get in and therefore out of your oven.
Aside from that, and of avoiding plastic in microwaves, I’d like to know if microwave cooking changes the food in a negative way that other heating methods don’t. I do prefer tea with conventionally boiled water rather than microwaved water, but aside from that I’m not aware of a problem.
I can’t recall how, but yes microwaved food is different. I just remember when my kids were babies I would never microwave their food because what I had read. Everything was stove warmed.
Microwaves are non-ionizing radiation.
Not that I know of. Of course it wll change the cooking just like oven cooking is different from steaming. Also, microwaves that get out of the microwave are hardly problematic. Maybe if you stick your head against it for some time... On the other had I am curious about sous-vide cooking, since it is made in plastic...
@@ahome9553The only thing really different about microwave cooking is what it will do to the consistency of the food as it removes moisture at an accelerated rate. But as far as nutrition goes, it doesn't change the nutritional value of the food any more than other methods of cooking, whether stove top or oven or air fryer.
Me being a schizo cleaner I feel vindicated!!! Now I'ma keep my house cleaner 😂
Throw out your microwave? Really? No one is going to do that.
Microwave??????? Science please!
Everything kills us
You said ubiquitous
Beds are required to be flame-retardant by law. Can't get around it.
well, not to be a pesimist here.... but all that You listed - we are practically surrounded by that crap from all over - food, packaging, cosmetics, clothing and the list goes on- to get rid of all that one would have to go live in a jungle or remote island or something - in other words its impossible to avoid exposure to this no matter what You do.....
the guy lost me at throw away you microwave, nothing wrong with microwaves
Microwave radiation to cook your food... hardly seems natural.

@Highintensityhealth Did you see this one? Search for "thiol based antioxidant supplementation alters human skeletal muscle signaling and attenuates its inflammaton..." I took it every few days for a few months and it completely shut down my inflammatory repair pathways after exercise. My tendons severely degraded, I could no longer get DOMS. Eventually I could barely walk. Once I figured it out, I stopped taking it and within a week my inflammatory pathways went normal again. That was a few years ago and I'm still rebuilding some tendons but they are mostly healed now.
Clickbait and misleading title but interesting just the same
Geez, dude. Please don’t drive yourself insane worrying about everything that’s unhealthy, in some cases it’s unavoidable. Don’t forget mental health is just as important so just do the best you can to live healthy and enjoy life.
Endocrine disruptors can harm your mental health.
It appears you have a Dr Strangelove attitude.
@@mballerI have a realist one. You can’t run from everything and probably these devices we are looking at are most harmful.
As a general rule, just avoid fast food and highly processed foods, stay clean, drink water preferably not tap water, and whenever possible, avoid plastic. You’re good if you do this. You’re going to die eventually, no point in worrying endlessly about avoiding every last little thing.
We use truly free to clean all our clothes and dishes and home
Okay nice bit of fear mongering, but what’s the solution?
If you was to eat organic and have all “natural” health products including skincare, dental etc, this is way beyond the pay grade of an average salary.
Also what a dumb quote “the junk food packaging is as problematic as the junk food itself” 🤨 so guess that also goes for the “Health food” best just not eat anything as it’s all wrapped in packaging.
Sound bites like this probably cause more stress and harm to a person than a couple of indulgences that’s for sure

The savings stack up fast.
What is the science-based research you based on before recommend people to throw out the microwave? Avoid plastic and use safe glass and ceramic is perfectly fine.
Could you provide it if there is any? Otherwise, you are just fearmongering the stuff that you are poorly understood.
Toilet paper can also be full of BPAs too.
I have been carrying around smart water bottles with the sports caps for over 15 years because they are easy to run and sip water without twisting off a cap I roll over and take a swig from one off my nightstand. I also reuse these bottles and put lemon water in them to keep hydrated. BUT I’ve been waking up chugging 20 Oz of a refilled smartwater to realize there were a little mold spores floating around in the water. I’m wondering if the lemon juice is eating the plastic in the inside or what’s happening because the mold is growing like overnight. I think I’m doing something healthy by trying to drink a lot of water throughout the day, but I’m probably harming my health by drinking out of these plastic bottles. I just haven’t found any, other way to consume water I don’t have a straw or untwist a cap.
The body has natural defense systems to excrete most chemical and environmental toxins. This is not the case however when foreign proteins and garbage are injected directly into the blood stream as with the "safe and effective” programs.
Stop
@demodiums7216, Yes, stop injecting them. Good advice.
Bill gates said we need to lower the population.
I used to LOVE using candles at home and those plugins too. After learning about phthalates and VOCs, I had found that Aroma Retail (Las Vegas based small business and made in USA) makes home fragrances from resorts that are PET-FRIENDLY and without phthalates, parabens, disruptors, carcinogens, and VOCs. Very helpful when I asked my questions to them, knowing that the times we live in require safer solutions. Definitely worth a look if you're making the change away from $6 Glade plug ins and $4 WalMart candles!
Sounds like city life is full of this.
Best to live out in the country and use natural products
You can’t avoid everything. My wife and I try to eat and live as “clean” as possible, but my testosterone was 300~ at 31. Most of the damage is likely done when we’re children and it follows us into adulthood. That being said getting on TRT was life-changing for me. I can actually keep fat off and feel like I should.
EDC bombardment starts since a baby is born with the plastic bottles and crappy baby formulas full of seed oils. However Im wondering if there is not enough breast milk what can substitute the seed oils formula?
