I like the way you think! I too believe my body has evolved a way to deal with plastic. My current theory is that is why it is so difficult to go poop, my liver is banishing all plastic to the sewer via my butthole.

Unfortunately, microplastics is only a part of environmental toxins. We are also exposed to PFAS, PFOS, glyphosate, dioxins, DDT and BFA just to name a few. The rise of chronic disease is most likely due to a cumulative effect of all of the environmental toxins rather than a singel substance. It is possible to reduce the exposure for all of these however, you need to know what the sources are. I haven't heard of a single Health Agency that speaks up on this issue and has tried to inform the population on avoiding environmental toxins. Good work on informing about how to reduce microplastic exposure.

Microplastics are accumulating in our bodies and may cause negative health effects in the long term. Sources of microplastics: synthetic textiles, car tires, dust, road markings, coatings on ships, personal care products How microplastics get into the body: inhalation and ingestion Potential health effects of microplastics: gut health problems, metabolic changes, brain degeneration, immune system problems, reproductive system problems How to minimize exposure to microplastics: reducing inhalation (wear a mask, breathe through your nose), reducing ingestion (avoid bottled water, eat less seafood), supporting your body’s detox systems (gut, respiratory system, skin, liver, lymphatic system, kidneys) How to mitigate the damage of microplastics: supporting the immune system (eat a healthy diet, get enough sleep, reduce stress), reducing inflammation (eat antioxidant-rich foods, avoid smoking and alcohol), supporting gut health (eat probiotic foods, prebiotic foods, reduce stress), supporting reproductive health (eat healthy fats, avoid processed foods) There are some things you can do to help remove microplastics from your body, such as taking apple pectin, zeolite nanoclay composites, and activated charcoal.

I'm glad you're telling us how to minimize exposure without making us fearful and also saying we shouldn't make it our whole life trying to get rid of microplastics, because it is honestly very stressful to always worry about it. I used to stress a lot over this issue but for a while now I just stopped caring so much and just making a small change every now and then and I feel much better now.
I felt the same when I first found out about this. We've just gotta do what we can for our personal health, and push for policy changes so that big companies stop pumping so much plastic into the world

Happy everyone is waking up. I bought myself and all my friends glass water bottles last year for this exact reason, thing is even the cap was rubber. Old school is the real gold.
Wow... After looking at this video, I looked around myself and wow how much plastic we have in our daily life. And who could have thought, that it could affect us so much? Thanks for the video!
Plastics started being mass produced in the 1950s and has gone up exponentially. The world now produces 400 million tons of plastic a year and is expected to go up to 1 billion tons a year by 2045. By 2045 there will be more plastic than living creatures in the ocean. Good luck everyone
@@wotanvonedelsburg1610 Hemp is somewhat in our lives but glass bottles dying because they are expensive and break very often (to be fair plastic too), so your best choice is to use glass as much as possible.
This is so sad. You can sell somebody a single metal thermos for 20 bucks, and they might have it a lifetime (if they don't lose it or badly damage it.) Or you can sell that same person 100,000 water bottles for a dollar each. Not hard to figure out why things are the way they are. The laws they pass encourage it (disposable vapes for instance). Then they do stupid things like no plastic straws wrapped in paper, just paper straws wrapped in plastic. Hearing that my body is full of microplastics was enough for me to delete at least 90% of plastic from anything that goes in or on the body. There's not a lot we can do about most of it unfortunately, and food packaging gets me the most. They sold every living creature's health for quick profits.
My grandmother is a seamstress and has sewn and worked around polyester dust, fabric, and threads for decades. She also eats very few processed foods and i have a feeling that has contributed pretty significantly to her being alright.
Use glass and a filter, I'm not concerned about plastic cuz testosterone or whatever it affects many other things and I've been using a filter and glass since I was a preteen
Get a water filter and use a metal bottle which can have an airtight lid. I suggest to not use glass because it usually causes the water to warm up too much.
This video showcases your clear, logical thinking coupled with earnest research and thoughtful compilation of knowns and unknowns. Dear UA-camr, thank you for this quality that genuinely edifies and clears the fog of uncertainty even if only a little bit.
Yes underwear and socks matter most because those are the ones that are tight on your skin so lots of microplastics touching it. Make sure those are made of cotton.
16:50 puryfying tap water - unfortunatelly reverse osmosis filters are made of plastics too xD They still may provide a great harm reduction but unfortunatelly I have not found anybody measuring that yet Destilation may be the way to go (and it's cheaper).
@@ChrisHedges-sp9mx my shot is it may be more convenient than destillation; they may leak some plasticizers (but shouldnt much of them); if you are rich enough to get RO than you may go for some lab tests - if you do share please xD
It's been found everywhere.. even in places it shouldn't exist. Like caves with no water.. so it's "deeper" than what videos like this lead you to believe.
these are the notes that I took in case anyone wants them Inhalation: - frequently clean up dust (with wet cloths as to not stir it back into the air) - air purifiers - indoor plants that clean air - gently wash clothes/sheets at lower temperatures and spin speeds Ingestion: - avoid food that has touched plastic - don't use teflon or use metal utensils if you do - don't microwave food in plastic - don't drink from plastic bottles, particularly if they've been heated by the sun or otherwise - drink (remineralized) water from a reverse-osmosis filter - get meat, poultry, and fish particularly from high-quality sources - drink loose-leaf tea only - get milk that comes in glass bottles Contact: - avoid cosmetic/hygiene products that come in plastic - only wear clothes made with natural fabrics, particularly underwear - use bed sheets made with natural fabrics - avoid touching/using plastic things in general (cups, plates, utensils, mice, keyboards, etc.) Enhancing Detox: - eat fiber to promote regular pooping, minimizing plastic absorption via the gut - adopt practices that strengthen the gut barrier ∙ avoid alcohol, drink bone broth, get enough vitamin a & d, eat healthy, etc. - take probiotics/eat foods w/ probiotics - consume prebiotic foods - avoid antibiotics & junk food - eat apples or supplement apple pectin - zeolite nanocomposites - avoid breathing pollution - breath through your nose - sweating via sauna or exercise - stay hydrated - lymph node massages - donate plasma and/or blood Mitigating Damage: - support healthy immune system - grounding - eat antioxidants-rich foods - avoid smoking, drinking alcohol, and breathing pollution - prioritize gut health - support reproductive health
The problem with seafood nowadays is that it is all farmed, this is why I catch my own fish knowing that I’m eating quality fish(I live in Australia btw)
All the oceans are full of mercury these days. It's not our grandparents world anymore. All seafood has some level. It varies. Shark has more than snapper or salmon, which has more than krill. Size matters, I've been told. Lol. It's enough a problem they tell pregnant women to avoid seafood.
great video bro. very organised, a lot of precise information (it's so common nowadays to establish unproven causalty) and a lot of reasonable steps to minimse the exposure. Sometimes it feels we're helpless, but we're really not. Thanks for the video man. You're doing a great job.
Please make more videos, your insight on health in this video brings me hope as an older teenager, and I want to see what other pieces of advice you have on health. I haven’t been the healthiest all my life but it’s never too late to start getting better.
I had seen a recent study about the alarming amount of microplastics in bottled water, which was disappointing because I’ve drank from plastic bottles countless times throughout most of my life. I was really frustrated but couldn’t find any decent sources on how to reduce microplastic exposure. This video was both really informative and gave helpful suggestions. Thank you 🙏
The first priority, given that pollutants are everywhere, is to stay healthy and reduce stress. The body heals itself faster when it has the ingredients it needs. Sleep well, get clean air, eat healthy, and be active. A lot of us don't do these things enough, me included.
One thing we don't wanna consider but have to is condoms. Plastic sheaths being vigorously rubbed while at body temperature heat, and very close to reproductive tissue? Sounds rather likely to be a source of micros
This is like saying natural is better so i'm gonna swallow lava cus it's natural. SURE, the process takes many chemicals, but whose to say they stay. For example, sodium chloride becomes salt after a half hour. Need specifics.
Joe Muggs had ceramic coffee cups you could buy, and they gave a discount on coffee to anyone using one of their mugs. You paid for the cup, but could use it forever.
I'm so Happy RN, not only you enriched my knowledge and made me aware of many healthy mechanisms, but as someone with ADHD Who couldn't Watch a 7 Min video i can Watch a 30+ video without my head hurting! Thanks a lot this video was a huge milestone to me!
I hope this doesn’t freak anyone out. All you need to do to minimize and flush microplastics from your body is just to be healthy. For example: Eating a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and getting plenty of sleep will help deter this issue. Not saying it’s 100% but helps with minimizing risk related health issues.
22:50 Bone broth is almost a perfect food… but it concentrates heavy metals that settle in bovine bones. Lead for one. So it’s important to always take cilantro with bone broth ingestion.

Oh man I’m glad I don’t drink water bottles. Anyone working in trade field get a steel metal have gallon or gallon water bottles because it doesn’t absorb plastic in your bottles and wash it once a week because the plastic lenses can create mold you can remove them just be careful having water leaks
Well i can't wait for nothing to be done about this by anybody because i've learned a thing or 2 in life, if something isn't so urgent that it immediately impacts us, we don't care, and this problem is one of them all i can say is: it is what it is
We've known this since the '80s. The problem is the combination of estrogen mimicking chemicals and endocrine disrupting chemicals creates an exponential effect rather than simply additive.
You should also cover glyphosate, also known as Round Up. The environment so utterly polluted with it, that it's even in rain water. It mimics glycine, which is used to make L-Glycine, and it's used in multiple protiens; one of which attaches sulphur to these forever chemicals to make them water soluble sulphates that can be processed by your lymph nodes. Edit: Also, I'd heard that button mushrooms can biodegrade even the worst of plastics. I heard anecdotes of people growing them in their compost bins, and them even breaking down entire pairs of shoes.
You can also eat spicy, capsaicin is an incredible molecule for the body, you could talk about it in a video, i think lots of people could benefit from capsaicin !
@@atlas4698 capsaicin has been researched quite a bit and was found to have a significant impact on health trough improvement in blood flow, decreased inflammation, vastly reduced cancer risk, overall it decreased chances of all cause deaths by more than 20% which is huge honestly. These benefits were reported for a frequency of at least 4 times a week in consumption. Some people do not tolerate spicy food very well with their gut though so you might not want to get crazy with the scoville right away.
People are always posting online or protesting about stuff that is irrelivant to most of us. It's ridiculous that these issues don't get addressed but it is just because of money.
exactly. this idiots screaming about global warming, forest being cut and other nonsense. but no one is speaking about microplastics or heavy metals in seafood, except youtubers and jurnalists. and even if someone speaking about it nothing changing.
My dad got me an air purifier for my eczema, i thought it was a little ridiculous since windows can do the exact same. I thought there was no use for them.....im glad i kept it after watching this lol.
Honestly nothing you can do but accept it, we just live in this era just as previous generations had flaws of modernity such as lead poisoning or prescribed drugs, asbestos or whatever else toxic, throughout history, we just living in one of those eras🤷♂️

Happy everyone is waking up. I bought myself and all my friends glass water bottles last year for this exact reason, thing is even the cap was rubber. Old school is the real gold.
Wouldn’t be surprised if related to so many young adult men having low testosterone nowadays.
I love the idea of not being obsessed about bit aware of this issue. I wish i had an idea that could cure our beautiful world of plastics.❤
Easiest habits to change are foods, but its pricey. Clothes and bedsheets and air filters go longer
I found this very obscured how the news don't talk about this problem at all
Wow... After looking at this video, I looked around myself and wow how much plastic we have in our daily life. And who could have thought, that it could affect us so much?
Thanks for the video!
Plastics started being mass produced in the 1950s and has gone up exponentially. The world now produces 400 million tons of plastic a year and is expected to go up to 1 billion tons a year by 2045. By 2045 there will be more plastic than living creatures in the ocean. Good luck everyone
Why not use hemp for containers or clothing? Glass bottles are also good, aren't they?
@@wotanvonedelsburg1610profits and more simple logistics
@@wotanvonedelsburg1610 Hemp is somewhat in our lives but glass bottles dying because they are expensive and break very often (to be fair plastic too), so your best choice is to use glass as much as possible.
This is so sad.
You can sell somebody a single metal thermos for 20 bucks, and they might have it a lifetime (if they don't lose it or badly damage it.)
Or you can sell that same person 100,000 water bottles for a dollar each. Not hard to figure out why things are the way they are.
The laws they pass encourage it (disposable vapes for instance).
Then they do stupid things like no plastic straws wrapped in paper, just paper straws wrapped in plastic.
Hearing that my body is full of microplastics was enough for me to delete at least 90% of plastic from anything that goes in or on the body. There's not a lot we can do about most of it unfortunately, and food packaging gets me the most.
They sold every living creature's health for quick profits.
My grandmother is a seamstress and has sewn and worked around polyester dust, fabric, and threads for decades. She also eats very few processed foods and i have a feeling that has contributed pretty significantly to her being alright.
I refill plastic bottles with tap water, im losing my balls bros😭💀
Use glass and a filter, I'm not concerned about plastic cuz testosterone or whatever it affects many other things and I've been using a filter and glass since I was a preteen
Is the filter made out of plastic @@tw20239
Get a water filter and use a metal bottle which can have an airtight lid. I suggest to not use glass because it usually causes the water to warm up too much.
there arent any women worth impregnating anyway these days.
Using the same plastic bottle is still better than using a new one every time.
This video showcases your clear, logical thinking coupled with earnest research and thoughtful compilation of knowns and unknowns. Dear UA-camr, thank you for this quality that genuinely edifies and clears the fog of uncertainty even if only a little bit.
I've been playing wearing polyester jerseys for soo long 💀
Dont worry, all of us are so cooked with this microshit
You gotta change that man get 100% cotton to save your testosterone
Make sure ur underwear is 100 percent cotton too brotha
Yes underwear and socks matter most because those are the ones that are tight on your skin so lots of microplastics touching it. Make sure those are made of cotton.
My school uniform
At this point, we gotta find some way to get our bodies to break this stuff down. Hell, I'm desperate enough for CRISPR.
I love this guy, he makes one of the most useful videos on the platform. Keep going, brother.
Thank you mate I appreciate it
16:50 puryfying tap water - unfortunatelly reverse osmosis filters are made of plastics too xD
They still may provide a great harm reduction but unfortunatelly I have not found anybody measuring that yet
Destilation may be the way to go (and it's cheaper).
i wont drink destiled water. heard its not heatly aka. its toxic
my bad. just googled and there are no side effect. lul :)
Wouldn't they still be removing more microplastics than they add? So it still ends up helping?
@@ChrisHedges-sp9mx my shot is it may be more convenient than destillation; they may leak some plasticizers (but shouldnt much of them); if you are rich enough to get RO than you may go for some lab tests - if you do share please xD
Whats RO@@ThePatrykolus
I started wearing cotton underwhere lately and will soon make the switch my entire wardrobe.
Man your videos are literally a guide to be the best possible version of ourselves. Thanks again 🙏
what's even worse is detoxifying our bodies from all these environmental hazards, has become so expensive-- making it even harder to cleanse
Welp i will beat it cant beat me
YO OUR BOY BEN HERE SAVING OUR GUTS
but seriously, this is a big issue. And your channel have such a good content btw
I'm happy for your existence
Thank you bro hope you enjoyed
Crash and burn, corporate industry. Health is more important than profit margins
It's been found everywhere.. even in places it shouldn't exist. Like caves with no water.. so it's "deeper" than what videos like this lead you to believe.
That was good wisdom about health being a foundation to do what matters and not the end goal
idk about yall but my testicles only have macroplastics
none of that weak micro shit
🤣😆😆💀
these are the notes that I took in case anyone wants them

The problem with seafood nowadays is that it is all farmed, this is why I catch my own fish knowing that I’m eating quality fish(I live in Australia btw)
Polluted rivers. Yes, australian rivers have big issues with that too with farm run off, waste run off, etc.
@@The-Golden-Oak it’s probably not as bad as other areas tbh though
Very true. I believe wild Alaskan salmon is the highest quality (at least for salmon)
All the oceans are full of mercury these days. It's not our grandparents world anymore. All seafood has some level. It varies. Shark has more than snapper or salmon, which has more than krill. Size matters, I've been told. Lol.
It's enough a problem they tell pregnant women to avoid seafood.
@@Baptized_in_Fire. that’s normal in fish, the larger fish accumulate more mercury over time
My dental floss is plastic, my toothbrush is plastic, the tube holding my toothpaste is plastic. I am basically FUBAR.
great video bro. very organised, a lot of precise information (it's so common nowadays to establish unproven causalty) and a lot of reasonable steps to minimse the exposure. Sometimes it feels we're helpless, but we're really not. Thanks for the video man. You're doing a great job.
leaving a comment here so the algorithm blesses you
How the HELL all of this even came to fruition??? Seriously they thought it was "OK" to use plastics for everything??
I am just guessing, but i think by the time we realized how bad it was, we were already too reliant on them.
Plastic was/is cheap to make, and like the person above me said they probably didn't know that it even could be harmful.
Thank you for making a video on this, I've been railing on about this forever now. It's harder and harder to eat healthy.
Ben your channel has to be one of my favorites whether it’s health or working out I always enjoy! Thank you always
Please make more videos, your insight on health in this video brings me hope as an older teenager, and I want to see what other pieces of advice you have on health. I haven’t been the healthiest all my life but it’s never too late to start getting better.
“Citation needed” mfs when I point out the sun is falling from the sky
I had seen a recent study about the alarming amount of microplastics in bottled water, which was disappointing because I’ve drank from plastic bottles countless times throughout most of my life. I was really frustrated but couldn’t find any decent sources on how to reduce microplastic exposure. This video was both really informative and gave helpful suggestions. Thank you 🙏
I have no hope for this world, how did we get to this point?
The first priority, given that pollutants are everywhere, is to stay healthy and reduce stress. The body heals itself faster when it has the ingredients it needs. Sleep well, get clean air, eat healthy, and be active. A lot of us don't do these things enough, me included.
I'm afraid when I get cremated, the crematorium will be fined for burning garbage. Ouch, burn!
Hi no they will just you in the plastic recycling bin 😂
One thing we don't wanna consider but have to is condoms. Plastic sheaths being vigorously rubbed while at body temperature heat, and very close to reproductive tissue? Sounds rather likely to be a source of micros
im gonna regret chewing the capri sun straws 9 years ago
Same lmao, I used to do that too
Winny try to mention time stamps in the video,great work ❤
I wouldn’t wear bamboo clothes cos of the process it goes through to be turned into a textile
Please elaborate
@@FlamingAirplane research stuff.
@@Anthonybrother no
@@Anthonybrother I did and couldn’t find anything conclusive, therefore I asked the person who made the claim in the first place
This is like saying natural is better so i'm gonna swallow lava cus it's natural. SURE, the process takes many chemicals, but whose to say they stay. For example, sodium chloride becomes salt after a half hour. Need specifics.
Commenting so this hopefully reaches as many people as possible.
I personally am in a situation where i have no choice but to drink from plastic. But appreciate the data
In summary, there's nothing we can do, and we're all going to die. Thanks
We need a stainless steel water bottle , coffee cup exchange program. We've learned this way through cheapness and profitablity. Change the paradigm.
Joe Muggs had ceramic coffee cups you could buy, and they gave a discount on coffee to anyone using one of their mugs. You paid for the cup, but could use it forever.
I'm so Happy RN, not only you enriched my knowledge and made me aware of many healthy mechanisms, but as someone with ADHD Who couldn't Watch a 7 Min video i can Watch a 30+ video without my head hurting! Thanks a lot this video was a huge milestone to me!
I'm glad I kept you engaged :)
I hope this doesn’t freak anyone out. All you need to do to minimize and flush microplastics from your body is just to be healthy. For example: Eating a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and getting plenty of sleep will help deter this issue. Not saying it’s 100% but helps with minimizing risk related health issues.
That's a huge commitment though.
@@johnderat2652 I believe it's what we're supposed to do to live a healthy and happy life.
22:50 Bone broth is almost a perfect food… but it concentrates heavy metals that settle in bovine bones. Lead for one. So it’s important to always take cilantro with bone broth ingestion.
You're not a doctor? Well, I identify as a doctor. There, now I'm a doctor.
I definitely accept and tolerate that. What are your pronouns now?
@menz7359 well, I like 'me' and 'we' and in a certain coital scenario my pronoun is "unnhnrrggmph huhhhhuhh.' I know,the last one is a pain in the ass but.im going with it so I can self actualize as I overload my mind and nervous system with all these various knowledge downloads.
Honestly, the only way I see this working out is to get into the remote parts of British Guyana and making all your own stuff and have a year of fasting and herbal cleanse regimens before breeding. They don't have chemtrails down there and no government to.go down and seek you out. As we all know, all parasitic beings must seek out a human host and government being worse than all the others combined
Conservatives have one joke and they just use it over and over again
My pronouns are Dr. and Doctorself.
Pronouns: wee/woo
Oh man I’m glad I don’t drink water bottles.
Anyone working in trade field get a steel metal have gallon or gallon water bottles because it doesn’t absorb plastic in your bottles and wash it once a week because the plastic lenses can create mold you can remove them just be careful having water leaks
Just by watching this video I can say that if this stuff is a problem in the future, I’ve definitely preordered the expansion pass for it💀.
Well i can't wait for nothing to be done about this by anybody because i've learned a thing or 2 in life, if something isn't so urgent that it immediately impacts us, we don't care, and this problem is one of them
all i can say is: it is what it is
I am not paying thirty dollars for that guide. I’ll just research
This needs to be shown to everyone
Great video! I have an odd question. Has there been any research to see if microplastics are released from the testes during ejaculation?
Clorella algae bind plastics to get them out of the body. Mostly the gut and intestines though.
Thank you raising awareness.
We've known this since the '80s. The problem is the combination of estrogen mimicking chemicals and endocrine disrupting chemicals creates an exponential effect rather than simply additive.
You should also cover glyphosate, also known as Round Up. The environment so utterly polluted with it, that it's even in rain water. It mimics glycine, which is used to make L-Glycine, and it's used in multiple protiens; one of which attaches sulphur to these forever chemicals to make them water soluble sulphates that can be processed by your lymph nodes.
Edit: Also, I'd heard that button mushrooms can biodegrade even the worst of plastics. I heard anecdotes of people growing them in their compost bins, and them even breaking down entire pairs of shoes.
You can also eat spicy, capsaicin is an incredible molecule for the body, you could talk about it in a video, i think lots of people could benefit from capsaicin !
Can you elaborate?
@@atlas4698 capsaicin has been researched quite a bit and was found to have a significant impact on health trough improvement in blood flow, decreased inflammation, vastly reduced cancer risk, overall it decreased chances of all cause deaths by more than 20% which is huge honestly. These benefits were reported for a frequency of at least 4 times a week in consumption. Some people do not tolerate spicy food very well with their gut though so you might not want to get crazy with the scoville right away.
People are always posting online or protesting about stuff that is irrelivant to most of us. It's ridiculous that these issues don't get addressed but it is just because of money.
exactly. this idiots screaming about global warming, forest being cut and other nonsense. but no one is speaking about microplastics or heavy metals in seafood, except youtubers and jurnalists. and even if someone speaking about it nothing changing.
WTF
is this why girls in my school keep saying
"Mmm. Microplastics, yummy"
Idk but that's pretty funny lol 😭
best video ive seen about this and ive been paranoid about it for a long time, it is important to not become obsessive over things like this
Incredibly thorough presentation. Thank you
About time I get educational videos
Everything has become toxic for humanity especially for us males.We live in a sick world :(
My dad got me an air purifier for my eczema, i thought it was a little ridiculous since windows can do the exact same. I thought there was no use for them.....im glad i kept it after watching this lol.
Does anyone know the fix for if there are testicles in my plastic?
@@TemperedWambat Just go to your doctor, maybe he can prescribe you some puberty blockers or hormonal interventions.
Since I and most humans are naturally lazy, I will root for the microplastic eating bacteria solution.
Fantastic fantastic breakdown and super helpful video. Subscribed, liked, and saved!
It's great that you are evoking awareness. I really appreciate it ! Stay the course
Honestly nothing you can do but accept it, we just live in this era just as previous generations had flaws of modernity such as lead poisoning or prescribed drugs, asbestos or whatever else toxic, throughout history, we just living in one of those eras🤷♂️
