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.
@@neonada.officialdon't forget to include the environmental activist paid controlled opposition that made us think paper and glass were evil and should be done away with.
Summary: microplastics are tiny plastic particles that are found everywhere in our environment, including our food, water, and the air we breathe. They can also be absorbed through the skin. 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. However, He also says that more research is needed in this area.

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
There are things I had to cut out of my life. Such as tea bags, papered coffee filters and I try to avoid drinking from plastic and foam cups. Most everything I use now involves metal or ceramic.

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.
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.
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!
There was a study showing that boiling water caused the microplastics to attach to the scale in the kettle. From China though. "Drinking Boiled Tap Water Reduces Human Intake of Nanoplastics and Microplastics"
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 🙏
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
This has been an amazing video! (i know that sounds AI generated but i promise it's not) I've been researching microplastics for several months now (by reading papers. im not a scientist) and the realization of how deep in the shit we are was genuinely frightening. I try to tell people of the new discoveries when a paper comes out by almost nobody seems concerned and they quickly change the topic. Obviously I'm not trying to spread panic, just awareness. Thanks for making this video. It's very well made and your focus on various studies is an excellent approach when discussing an emergent topic like this. It's a shame you published it before the brain paper that dropped like a week ago :/ I can't even imagine what kind of damage they're causing in there. Well, probably causing dementia, like the study suggests.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
Easiest habits to change are foods, but its pricey. Clothes and bedsheets and air filters go longer
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.
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.
Man your videos are literally a guide to be the best possible version of ourselves. Thanks again 🙏
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!
There was a study showing that boiling water caused the microplastics to attach to the scale in the kettle. From China though.
"Drinking Boiled Tap Water Reduces Human Intake of Nanoplastics and Microplastics"
Can you link the study?
@@Snoopy813 I could. Isn't the title enough to find it?
But tap water contains fluoride which is and equally worse problem
@@TheJackOfAllContent *Tap water in the US.
@@TheJackOfAllContent Laughs in european tap water
That was good wisdom about health being a foundation to do what matters and not the end goal
I found this very obscured how the news don't talk about this problem at all
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
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 started wearing cotton underwhere lately and will soon make the switch my entire wardrobe.
leaving a comment here so the algorithm blesses you
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.
The invention of plastics and it's consequences have been a disaster for the human species
Capitalism is doing this
Not just for human species as well but also in other animal and plant species.
@99Gara99 Communists love cheap materials as well buddy.
You definitely quoted Ted Kaczynski just changed industrial revolution to plastic haha nice one. And crazy as he was, he was right
They have greatly benefitted us as well. Would you go back to horse drawn transport because it is less polluting?
This needs to be shown to everyone
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.
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
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 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.
Commenting so this hopefully reaches as many people as possible.
Thank you raising awareness.
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.
About time I get educational videos
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 🙏
Winny try to mention time stamps in the video,great work ❤
Good and well rounded video. Cork floor and wallpaper will do the job, window open every time indors.
Crash and burn, corporate industry. Health is more important than profit margins
these are the notes that I took in case anyone wants them

- 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.

- support reproductive health
I personally am in a situation where i have no choice but to drink from plastic. But appreciate the data
I’m stuck living in the city 😔but I’m very appreciative of the information you’ve presented. Thank you
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
Clorella algae bind plastics to get them out of the body. Mostly the gut and intestines though.
Damn! This is some life saving info man!
Incredibly thorough presentation. Thank you
Hamza but more educational and less fear mongering, subscribed.
idk about yall but my testicles only have macroplastics
none of that weak micro shit
🤣😆😆💀
Great video for limiting microplastics in the body
This has been an amazing video! (i know that sounds AI generated but i promise it's not)
I've been researching microplastics for several months now (by reading papers. im not a scientist) and the realization of how deep in the shit we are was genuinely frightening. I try to tell people of the new discoveries when a paper comes out by almost nobody seems concerned and they quickly change the topic. Obviously I'm not trying to spread panic, just awareness.
Thanks for making this video. It's very well made and your focus on various studies is an excellent approach when discussing an emergent topic like this. It's a shame you published it before the brain paper that dropped like a week ago :/ I can't even imagine what kind of damage they're causing in there. Well, probably causing dementia, like the study suggests.
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💀.
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.
Great video! I have an odd question. Has there been any research to see if microplastics are released from the testes during ejaculation?
appreciate the effort you put into this, thanks G
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.
It's great that you are evoking awareness. I really appreciate it ! Stay the course
im gonna regret chewing the capri sun straws 9 years ago
Same lmao, I used to do that too
Ya ur a real one for this video. I can tell ur a smart person (very rare)
Great video with clearly a lot of work put it
Thank you bro
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.
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
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
Insanely useful, if sobering, video.
I’ll be buying cotton underwear and t-shirts, especially to the gym, from now on. Great advice bro 💪🏼🔥
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.
Fantastic fantastic breakdown and super helpful video. Subscribed, liked, and saved!
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 😂
it's probably "difficult to get human evidence" because it would facilitate an open and shut case in court against corporations
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.
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
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.
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.
Damn, what an amazng video! Keep this up! The editing might be boring for some, but it does give the info through with pictures and short pieces of info and your voice with the writing more than make up for it. You've earned yourself a new sub, my friend!
Have an Amazing day!
Good research. Thanks.
Love ur vida a ton. Make more! Maybe do one on PFAS?
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.
Very informative, thank you for sharing. Totally unrelated your voice is very similar to Exurb1a and is quite calming.
Good shit man i started buying glass containers long ago because it sucks to drink out of plastic anyway👍
