7:15 Plastic in Arteries
Literally anything we buy in shop is wrapped in plastic. Bread, dairy, meat everything is packaged in plastic.
Except, they won’t give us plastic shopping bags in my area any more. Have to purchase a very thin paper one for ten cents.
Yes, I do taste the plastic when I use a plastic toothpick.
@@IB-qs1miwhat does plastic taste like ?
Distinguish 1) bulk packaging (like a package of steaks) from 2) oily and cooked "factory packaged food" (like peanuts, chips, microwave dinners) and acidic bottled and canned beverages (like soda). @@-astrangerontheinternet6687
They need to be forced to replace that plastic packaging. Wax paper if they have to. Otherwise they’re hypocrites for forcing environmental health choice on customers. But they take no responsibility themselves? Absolutely ridiculous.
I threw out all my plastic containers, cups, and plates.
I try my best to only use glass, particularly for the products I buy.
I try and do what I can to avoid plastics
What's your toothbrush made of? 🤔
@@larryc1616 Yeah but we can get non-plastic dental floss now, but much be searched out.
Try using a miswak@@larryc1616
It’s kinda hard to avoid plastic when it’s literally in just about everything. It’s in food, water, our clothes and etc., etc. Micro and nano plastic has even been found in fresh fruits and vegetables and meat as well. It’s also in the air we breath. We’re literally surrounded by it!
We can still do many things to minimize our exposure, though, and hopefully get rid of all plastics eventually
wear 100% organic cotton and sleep on cotton or silk sheets...
Fun fact. I once distilled water from plastic water bottles. There were little tiny beads of plastic left in the water distiller once 4L were distilled. The same does not happen when using tap water.
tap water is filled with chemicals and hormones
My god. What a mess it all is.
Companies find plastic to be cheaper than glass.
I’d like to see a study on how wearing plastic affects us. Isn’t spandex plastic? Don’t they make work out clothes with spandex? We sweat and our pores are open and probably absorbing it. I’m so sick of synthetic everything. It’s literally everywhere and has poisoned our environment
Exactly, acrylic wool is extremely annoying of all.
Polyester is plastic
Purchase 100% cotton.
I read a few years ago the rule of thumb that due to "fleece clothing" (polyester), the average American now INHALES about 1 credit card worth of tiny plastic fibers every week or two.@@deepasampathkumar
Masks?!
If only people realized that their soda cans are lined with plastic, the stuff you get your fast food in is made from plastic or petroleum, and the stuff they put your drive-thru hot coffee in is also a plastic. I avoid a lot of that because I filter my water and they remain in glass jugs and go into stainless steel canteens, the only thing that's hard to avoid is the microplastics you get from Chemtrails and fish
Chemtrails? I already knew they are dropping heavy metals in there. But plastics aswell?
Your a little over the top on this one .Borderline Climate Zealot 👨🏻🦳🙈
So called paper cups
Plastic lining in an aluminum can?
@@Moore221092otherwise the contents would eat through the aluminum.
Just how do we avoid plastic, our water lines are plastic, the pumps that pump our water is plastic, everything we eat is packaged in plastic, we carry out everything we purchase in plastic, stores in plastic, .....Our healthy food we buy is packaged in plastic.
We live in a plastic world.
I saw a video recently, I forget by whom, where they postulated that many modern metabolic disorders like obesity are not just caused by high caloric intake and sedentary lifestyles, but also an immune response to the increasingly toxic nature of our world, including endocrine-disrupting microplastics in food supply and the environment.
Theo Colborn (Dianne Dumanoski, John Peterson Myers) has a great book: Our Stolen Future: Are We Threatening Our Fertility, Intelligence, and Survival?--A Scientific Detective Story
Sugars and Seed oils.
"240,000 nanoplastics and microplastics found in bottled water!" This was on social media 2 months ago.
In the past 10 years, I have been more concerned about these nano and micro plastic particles in "bottled seed and processed oils" that end up in cooking pans and fryers where these particles undergo high heat together with the heated oil before entering our mouth into our body and internal organs.
It's scary and worrying when these plastic particles are chemically altered by the high heat during deep frying and stirfrying to become even more toxic than those found in bottled water, though these are still detrimental to our health.
I no longer have any plastic containers... they've all been thrown out, and except for refrigerated dairy products, I look for glass containers when buying consumable products, e.g., water.
You mentioned PVC, but have you heard if they've looked at PEX? I moved to Florida 4 years ago and my new house was built with PEX for just about every connection. The only place I've seen copper is to the water heater--the pipes leaving the water heater are PEX.
Zip-lock bags, water bottles, Tupperware, PVC and PEX plumbing, ... this stuff is everywhere in my life. Back to mason jars I think.
Clothes, furniture, shoes, electronics. It's literally in everything.
.. as a German Biologist -
I bought a stainless Steel Water Distiller
and only Drink Distilled Water.
...Fresh Fruits and Vegetables
Fruits have plastic
Just don't take over the world with it aye? ;)
I didn't know people could drink distilled water. I thought that was only for machines
@@cassandrarandall2457
I make myself
@cassandrarandall2457 it's just super filtered water.
my uncle used to microwave every meal in plastyic bags he died from a massive heart attack
haahah what an idiot, my family stopped using microwaves years ago .
This is why in humans, our internal arteries are often referred to as plumbing. As it turns out, the PVC in the pipes in our homes simply transfers to humans making us one and the same with our environment. This is sometimes referred to as singularity.
Thats an intelligent and hilarious comment. I enjoyed it. Thank you!
😂 Brilliant!
So intelligent that it may be the dumbest thing I've ever read.
Thanks Mike, thanks to you and others I've been avoiding plastic for a while. I just hope the study isn't being used as smoke screen for something else that's causing heart issues.
Most likely the 💉
A study in firefighters showed 3 plasma donations got rid of 99% of microplastics from blood. You can get paid for doing it as well.
The really disturbing aspect of this is that the plastics producing companies have known this for literally decades and have continued to not only keep producing this poisonous stuff but also heavily marketed to expand its usage.
I stopped buying all Poland Springs water bottles, and invested in good home water filtration system. Something VERY IMPORTANT: I did notice that after sometime, where the water bottles were stocked in my refrigerator, there was a BLACK RING under each bottle .
I read a study which mentions that carbon filter and ion exchange don't filter out much plastics. I don't know about reverse osmosis since that wasn't tested but it was mentioned that the best is microfiltration with a filter pore size of 0.2 microns or less because of the small size of microplastics however the degradation product of microplastics called nanoplastics are 0.1 micron in size.
Great info as always, Mike. As you indicated, it is very difficult to avoid plastics. It is very easy for influencers to say "avoid plastics", where in real life, it is not so easy. I would content that there are probably some OK plastics that will not harm us, but who knows. My real question is; the people in the study of plaque, the ones that did not have plastics in their plaque were whom? Super humans that lived in a glass biosphere? Surely, they were some sort of "common" person(s). How did they manage to not have plastics in their plaque? I want to live like them and I doubt it was because they all drank out of glass mason jars all their life. I know the best defense is to just avoid all plastics as much as possible. But knowing the characteristics of people without plastics in their plaque would go a long way in understanding the strongest steps one can take to "avoid plastics".
My very best friend made me promise that I would quit drinking from plastic bottles. Unfortunately, I lost her almost 5 years ago but remember her avoiding plastics as best she could and requested I do the same.
She died for you. Don't let her down
@@larryc1616 I am doing my best not to.
100 Dollar question: how come that a number of people did not have any microplastic deposited? Where they taking any particular precautions? Did they not wear any masks?
I wonder if they exist in different socioeconomic brackets than us. Keeping plastic out of your body seems like a daunting financial task.
1-10% don’t have any in them. They always knew or they live tribally
what about people wearing dentures that's made with acrylic?
Avoiding plastic is like saying stop breathing air.
Glass bottles, ceramic mugs, reusable stainless steel cups. Several options other than disposable plastic. 👍🏻
@@lmlm_ But what about food? Microplastics in foods is a real thing.
Exactly! "Packaged factory food" is simply NOT OK. Americans REFUSE to grasp this. There are no factory packaged "health foods." Cooking at home from basic whole ingredients - animal parts, whole veggies, whole spices, whole beans, whole lentils - is the only good option. There are no good factory packaged substitutes.@@lmlm_
Your right.
@@wiseguise5960 The same applies, I have glass “tupperware.” However plastic leeching is mostly a concern with liquids (plastic water bottles, etc) and hot food/liquids in to-go containers, as stated in this video and others Mike has released before. 👍🏻
All my grass fed beef comes in plastic, and I live (stationed) in the most unhealthy area of the country, Mississippi Gulf Coast. WTF do I do? Moving is not an option.
Also, just wanted to say you helped one of my Battle Buddies and me quit dipping. You did a show on Nic Nac Naturals and I followed your advice, so glad I did. I can't thank you enough, as I had a lip full of Skoal for decades. Been clean for 1.5 years, and my mouth is so much better. You do a yeomans work, Mike!
That sauna thing would help. I'm wondering the same thing.
All reverse osmosis water filters are made out of plastic. Idk if it's PVC but even the thing that's supposed to be cleaning your water is likely depositing microplastic directly into it.
Even apmec?
So what filter should we use now?
I heard about distilling it. Someone got a filter made of stainless steel. But reverse osmosis supposedly filtered the best.
People can really reduce the use of plastic.
The plastic water bottles have got to be one of the worst.
Theo Colborn (Dianne Dumanoski, John Peterson Myers) has a great book: "Our Stolen Future: Are We Threatening Our Fertility, Intelligence, and Survival?--A Scientific Detective Story". Dr Colborn studied the effects of plastics on our endocrine system. This book came out in 1996, we knew long before that, but the science was not definitive (according to the petro industry) enough to change how plastics played a toll all the health of ALL life on the planet. Greed won again.
Impossible to avoid, but we can minimize. Do your best and not sweat the rest.
I'm a consumerlab subscriber and looked at a recent study where they tested a series of water filter pitchers. Sadly ZeroWater (which I been using for a year) added MORE microplastics! I stopped using it and now use the ClearlyFiltered pitcher
Isn't ClearlyFiltered also plastic?
That makes me feel better because I use Clearly Filtered. Hopefully it's better
@@Zizzyyzz All these pitchers are plastic. I just put the piece with the reservoir and filter itself over a glass pitcher and let it do its work
But you’re filtering out all the minerals and dissolved solids that are supposed to be in water correct?
@@WideAwakeHuman ClearlyFiltered claims it doesn't filter calcium, magnesium and potassium. But to be safe I have two servings of electrolyte powder a day
Thanks for that. Always excellent, clear, concise and detailed info
I'm glad you mentioned that in addiction to arterial plaque, plastic is found in the brain. I think it's safe to say that plastic makes its way to every organ of the body, where it contributes to much more than coronary disease and strokes. These are carcinogens. When plastic is wet, it much more easily plasticizes what it touches. So, if you don't like the taste of plastic, add more salt, sugar or garlic.
Is this sauna blanket made of plastic heated to very high temperatures? …
I was wondering the same thing.
I think it's impossible to avoid microplastics on a macroscale, unless you go out into the wild away from society. But at least you can avoid short-large injections of it by contact of food and water in containers/eating utensils. Can't avoid 100% But minimizing the exposure is the least we can do
It's even found in the Antarctic.
Amish
It is noteworthy that 58% of those tested had polyethylene in their atheromas, but only 12% had PVC in their atheromas. It is not clear to me if they did not find other types of plastics, or they just did not look for them.
How I prevent microplastic ingestion: move all my meat from the store immediately into the glass, only drink/eat from glass or ceramic, not wearing plastics like polyester, no food from bags (chips, noodles), filtered water attachments in the shower and sinks, and not putting produce into bags.
How would plastic get into the bloodstream? Aren't the stomach and intestines relatively selective about what is absorbed?
First, they're microscopic. Second, they structurally resemble natural components (hormones, nutrients, etc). Same applies to heavy metals and other contaminants that shouldn't be in the blood but end up there.
Whole home water softener, then our family reverse osmosis filter, the filtered water. Then we add minerals as well as structure the water (essentially mixing the minerals in).
And I’m sure I get plenty of plastic still in me through other sources of food outside the home, as well as the from carpet and the “micro dusting” of plastic products.
What happens to a polymer of say 10,000 monomers? In terms of sequence and timing of its disintegration. And what is the smallest polymer (of most plastics) that becomes bio degradable? If even a polymer of 3 monomers is not biodegradable, will not the Earth eventually have countless millions of tonnes of very small polymers infiltrating even bacteria?
The sauna blanket is made with Waterproof PVC
Replaced my plastic drip coffee maker with a glass French press and heat the water in a stainless electric pot .
I only drink out of a stainless steel water bottle and and I have a filter on my faucet as well, a good quality filter changing the filter every year
Seems like we need those new fangled plastic digesting microbes to become part of our gut micro biomes.
Too funny, have avoided plastics for consuming food for the last 15 years, I also don’t use microwaves no matter how many people say it’s safe.
It does have plastic as well?
How dangerous is sous vide cooking. Meat is placed in a plastic bag and submerged into the sous vide at 131 F?
It's an association - not causality. Just like high LDL-C has been associated with heart disease but might not cause it. This is a super important distinction to make. When you stop making it you fall into traps..
If serrapeptase, lumbrokinase and nattokinase dissolve fibrin and clots, one would assume they also dissolve plastic (non living junk)
Aluminum cans won't save you from plastic either. Cans have sprayed-on plastic liners as you can see in this video: ruclips.net/video/pGZyT9vGraw/видео.html
Any herbs or supplements that might be able to help the situation?
Pvc is probably coming from the conveyor belts used in factory's mike
Thank you for presenting this important topic. Just ordered the book "Our Stolen Future" other commenters mentioned from Better World Books. Scary topic as plastic is everywhere!
the studies didnt state that there was causation, they only stated that they found plastics in the plaques...
I can only advise water and air filters to minimise exposure to micro plastics and also reduce processed foods and plastic clothing
Do water filtration systems stop microplastics?
Disclaimer: I haven't finished the video yet.
Great question…I’m sure it helps but we don’t know!
Oddly enough, the filters are typically made out of plastic. Furthermore, I think the water linesinto many homes are made out of plastics.. I am not sure of this. I am also not sure how much bleeding of plastic, if any, into the water occurs from filters and water lines.
Reverse osmosis filters use plastic to filter
In many of the filters, it's the filter housing that is made out of plastics rather than the filtering material being made of plastic.
The answer is yes...to a degree. Carbon filters will help trap nano plastics. But, you really need to research them. Still, they are better than no filter.
Drinking plastic out of plastic bottles. The slip of the tongue made me 😂
The Freudian one😅
For some reason, I remember Dr. Rhonda Patrick said that Saunas would help remove some of the BPA from plastics via sweating?
I knew it! Starbucks consumption leads to erectile dysfunction!
Probably.
What would you expect from consuming "soy" daily. Soy Boy is a saying for a reason.
I have a sauna blanket from a different company and I love it! The first dozen times I used it I felt really sick, but I persevered through the detox and now it feels amazing
Company name where u purchased please.
@@ivebeenthere2115 out of respect for this channel and his promotion of a sauna blanket, I must decline.
Look for far infrared and high heat, as well as a reputable company with good customer service
You probably felt sick from the sauna blanket off-gassing.
@@elijahedwards6571 it's interesting that you mention off-gassing. It was only after making my original comment that I even thought about the possibility of that happening 😬
At this point, it's probably (hopefully) quite minimal
Could this have something to do with the embalmers clots?
Probably a contributor.
Plastic clothes should have gone away along with disco😅! But seriously, we know that plastic clothing can cause a fever. On Saturday night anyways, hardy har.
We ingest about a credit card's worth of plastic a week on average. Its in the air in the alps...its everywhere.
Now I'm sitting pantsless in my car because the pants I was wearing contains 86% polyester, 14% spandex.
How about nano particles in tattoos?
I had 2 x Coerced mRNA’s…game over…the worst assault on my body and medical malpractice ever perpetrated on humanity.
A good rule of thumb with plastics is: If you taste it, you're consuming it.
Awful "rule of thumb". The majority of time you are consuming it, you aren't going to be tasting it.
@@Fresh-qc3zn If you can taste it, you are consuming it. I don’t see how that is factually incorrect. Not saying that you are wrong either though.
@@Cas_anova But even if you can't taste it you are consuming it half the time. A rule of thumb is something is something to use as a guide. The way you've put it would often be taken as, if you taste it you are consuming it, and if you don't taste it you aren't consuming it. Which would be incorrect.
@@Fresh-qc3znI agree with @Cas_anova. You are acting as if what they are saying and what you are saying are mutually exclusive, which they're not.
Yes, you can be consuming plastic without tasting it. However, it's good to remember that if you can taste it, you are most likely consuming it and maybe even more than if you couldn't taste it. That way, if you're drinking or eating out of something that you wouldn't think would leach plastic, and you taste it, you now know not to eat or drink from that anymore.
Toothbrush
What about the material of sauna blanket that you advertised?
This is why it could be better to buy/rent a house built before 1980, since they are far more likely to have copper pipes. (All the metals within copper piping are covered by limestone scale within 6 months of their being used, so they're self-sealing against metallic pollution.)
What's the link to the study?
I have a reverse osmosis unit and it looks like its made of plastic or pvc material.
How do we remove microplastics from our body and nanoplastics from our brain?
It is also food for thought every time we get that burnt tire smell from a hot asphalt parking lot.
If you stay away from liquids in plastic containers, plastic spoons,plastic plates, plastic cups, fish i think you'll be okay. Liquids really absorb the plastic but if you're buying solid foods that have no liquid in plastic containers i think youll be good
Don't forget about plastics in hats. I learned from a TikTok video that guys who wear baseball caps and hats all the time made from plastic tend to lose their hairline or go bald over time. Turns out the plastics from the hat gets deposited in your hair and plastic is not a conductive material, so it does not actually help your hair wearing them constantly. I am wondering how many guys and girls going bald wore plastic hats all the time who did not realize it was contributing to their baldness. They need to do a study or survey on that.
I have never seen a Pop Tart. I guess in Australia that we have many snacks which are just as bad if not much worse.
How did they explain this kind of substances being within the lumen of the arteries? If ingested, it had to “leak” through so many barriers: intestinal mucosa, the entire liver, lymphatic system, etc. So it’s weird. For me, it’s still a correlational finding so far, more than a causation. Not that I’m going to purposely “eat” plastic, but it definitely needs more studies.
Who didn't see this coming? Can we replace microplastics in clothes by using bamboo instead of nylon? Also bamboo bags, shoes plates etc
I live in Canada. Thank God people were brighter 8n the older days and it was made to law that all our live water go thru copper. Only our waste go thru PVC.
Not really. Most buildings are being re-piped and copper pipes are being replaced with PVC. At least in BC.
@@pinkybm9932 Well i know its still law from the main to the house in Quebec. I do see a lot of pvc inside buildings thi. Maybe they changed it? I know it used to be. But those are "building codes" and can change from province/city.
Do we have any enzymes we could take that break down microplastics in the body?
I think a lot of men also experience ED due to porn addiction. Ruins a lotta relationships, sadly.
I put meals in the freezer in plastic. What can I even replace that with?? Glass in the freezer will take up a lot of room and there's the risk they will explode.
How are we going to get all of these microplastics out?
Hey Mike! Curious about the plastic stuff- in the past it was said that it was warm and hot stuff that was causing the leeching effect of the plastic into the consumed liquid/food. Does it matter? Will plastic leech into cold food/liquids, also?? Thanks. Great topic. Great talk.
I wonder what microplastic levels are coming from the plastic blender cups? Or generic supplements?
I need a sauna...
Whoa better not turn on the heater in your car either ! Heater cores heat up hotter then your vehicle sitting in really hot days with windows rolled up
The Aluminium was "nerve system poison" earlier. How avoid that most common metal in Earth?
dose STILL makes the poison.
the dose for plastic is just small.
multiple doses of something that doesnt leave the body is still doses.
dose still makes the poison.
dont confuse dose with singular ingestion. no one says one time with dose makes the poison.
except anyone who works with carncinogens, radiation, or the like. Time with the dose certainly can make the poison.
It's nearly impossible to avoid. Municipal water systems use PVC all over the place.
Omg the nose breathing....once you hear it, you can't unhear it.
What makes you think we can sweat it out?
Please do a video about the new study claiming that intermittent fasting increases risk of heart disease etc.!
Hopefully saunas help eliminate micro plastics
PVC… or CPVC? pvc is only supposed to be for drainage not potable water. i have many questions not answered
Metal water bottles ……
What about Nalgene bottles for water? Or even BPA safe isn't safe?
Besides getting a reverse osmosis system in my house, how can I get clean water to drink that’s free of fluoride and microplastics?
So ceramic and paper drink containers?
Pretty much have to move to another country that doesn’t have any. I know at least one man that is working on removing as much plastic as possible because of the estrogenic affects on himself. Some people are very sensitive to it. In America we are surrounded by plastic. Our houses are part plastic. I guess go to plain wooden furniture with no chemicals in them. Beds and any cloth touching our skin would need to be cotton or wool. Realistically I believe going to stainless steel, glass & iron cookware will be an improvement because our society is plastic covered.
back to paper?
I do not think that microplastics have high viscosity. With plaque, microplastics could accumulate using the plaque as a glue. So, exercise and flush the plaques before it accumulate inside blood vessels. Exercise is not optional for optimal life.
The term plastic is like using metal. Just as there are many types of metals there are many types of plastic. Lead pipes can cause health problems and copper pipes much less. As a plumber I would not use CPVC or PEX in my own home but I would be perfectly comfortable with nearly inert polypropylene pipe. Polypropylene is used in residential plumbing in parts of Europe and for high purity water systems for manufacturing around the world. Because the pipe has to be heated to make butt welded or socket welded connections the process to construct a water system is more time consuming and thus my costly. Therefore I don't see mass adaptation of polypropylene unless consumers become educated about polypropylene pipe and demand its use.
sports bottles. The only solution I found is to empty the bottle unless I'm actively using it
