      Meet Krish - a banker turned self-appointed food guru. No degree in food science, yet he’s out there giving masterclasses on health, nutrition, and cuisine, claiming to know more about medicine than doctors and more about food than chefs and scientists combined.

    I totally appreciate you putting things into perspective, but also this simultaneously feels like when people thought smoking was no harm n infact good. No evidence in this case means not enough longterm studies are done on humans to see the effects(since these only came into light recently). People need to remember to maintain their sanity and just take steps that are helpful instead of panicking in which your video of information helps with. Always appreciate your content, thank you !

      If you've recently met any doctor, unfortunately they care less about real science and are not adept with recent research and updated technology and publications. Sometimes getting a perspective (not forming a rigid opinion) is necessary to ask the right questions to whoever you chose to believe in

    Tyre and road wear particles TRWP, is one of the major source of microplastics in the air and water. In air it contributes to 44% and in water bodies, groundwater situated close to road or in the stormwater it can contribute to 60-90% of microplastic
    Note: This percentages are based on source contribution not amount of microplastics found in air and water.
    The major problem with microplastics is that it is very hard to detect and test. The test for the presence of microplastics are complicated and expensive. However, The actual effect of microplastics in human health and its dose being harmful is still unknown or rather, it can be said that lack of evident research on human (so people spreading false information about being carcinogenic, like swe already said by Krish, there is no evidence).
    What People should be more concerned about right now are the PFAS which are also called as ''Forever chemicals'' that are present in almost everything in this present times and these are extremely harmful to human health.
    I am doing my research on PFAS in wastewater. I would be happy if people see this comment and go research about it more and more, so they are aware of this and look for preventive measures.
    Note: Please look for information published in research papers.

    From what I have read, a litre of bottled water contains around 0.25 Million micro-/nano- plastics.
    On the other hand, certain types of tea bags have been found to release several Billions of micro-/nano- plastics per cup.

    30-40% from water, so just use RO water! That sounds like an elitist attitude, and something Nirmala Sitharaman would say - people are dying while working 16-18 hrs a day continuously because they don't do yoga or trust in god to cope with work stress. What percent of the population actually has access to RO water? So, shouldn't we all do our bit to reduce plastic production and use? What about the other species on our planet. Don't they deserve cleaner water? Shouldn't the whole problem be tackled from the top where we produce inordinate amount of plastic with no thought about what we are leaving behind for generations to come? Already there is an island of plastic garbage in the middle of the Pacific ocean. It is our responsibility NOW to reduce plastic use and not have a "chalta hai" attitude since it won't do us harm or since there is currently no evidence of it causing cancer, endocrine issues, etc.

    How are all your videos in only one direction, just because there’s no evidence of harm does not mean it’s safe.
    Also, percentages would significantly change if a person is using RO like you said. So make that 50% to nearly 2% and then we’ll have much higher percentages of micro plastic from the other sources.

    Yes, plastics in water & air are a v big concern. While I may not have control over oceans & factories, I can still control the 1% that enters my home, that enters my/ my loved ones bodies. Just bcoz there's a mightier problem out there, I don't have to ignore & add 1% more to it. I will definitely eliminate plastic containers from my kitchen, food packaged in plastic containers, etc As an individual, everyone can make this difference, however small it may be. So let's not be cynical about it. Let us not distort every right/ good advice given. Let's do the right thing.

    Lack of evidence at this juncture, does not essentially guarantee that there is no harm,neither does it rule out the possibility of a probable harm subsequently.
    Fallacy of statistics is that it relies on a large set of data that unequivocally leans towards causality,and the time and accuracy for that data to come out is marred by innumerable confounders.
    Even though the exposure is regarded is low,the cumulative effect of low exposure over the years is another aspect that needs to be explored and explained.

    I liked the video, genuinely! I get the point that he wants to say microplastics are not necessarily harming you. But yaar, where microplastics come from, they are not created out of thin air. They have come into the picture because we have been causing plastic pollution for a hundred years now. The point is to reduce plastic consumption, not as food, but as daily use, that is how you can at least stabilize microplastic content. So, please avoid packaged foods, not in the context of food, but the package that you through in the trash. So, please don't IGNORE. Infant brain/placenta has microplastics. Common man! I am not in for scaremongering, but normalizing these is not helping the big picture. I agree with his last point where he says, to reduce plastic at a personal level. Currently studying in the US, I can see how this poses a global problem. And the current levels of LOW, are "current" not forever, the levels rise in plastic use, the day is not far, when these might pose a serious problem.
