The hotter plastic gets, the more microplastics are released.
In a plastic mixing bowl, water with salt releases threefold more microplastics than salt-free water

Microplastics aren’t just pollution, they’re carriers.

They transport heavy metals and antibiotic resistance genes through soil, crops, and into the food chain.

A new review reveals a growing “triple threat” in modern agriculture.

Great to be part of the team contributing to this new book on #microplastics and #nanoplastics. I helped with two chapters alongside super co-authors @praetorius-a.bsky.social, @mattmacleod.bsky.social, @pradodomercq.bsky.social, Patrizia Schmidt and Wendel Wohlleben.

Are tea bags made of plastic?

You might be surprised to learn that many "paper" tea bags use a thermoplastic lining to stay sealed in boiling water.

This can release billions of nanoplastics into your cup!

Scientists discover food that can help you poop out microplastics Though tiny plastic fragments have been known to accumulate in the brain, liver and placenta, they are especially disruptive to the delicate microbial balance in the gut.

1/2 The findings from the Kimchi Institute build on existing research suggesting that probiotics help to neutralize some of the toxicity of microplastics, adding that fermented foods might actually help remove some of those toxins from our systems, not just disarm them.

We Are Now Plastic: The Terrifying Truth About the Microplastics Inside You The Plastic Plague: Are You More Synthetic Than Human? 🧬💳 Ever wondered why you feel constantly "off," or why chronic health issues are skyrocketing globally? The truth is hiding in your water bottle, your clothes, and even the air you breathe. Stay tuned until the end to discover the one simple lifestyle shift that could literally purge these synthetic invaders from your bloodstream. In this eye-opening episode, we dive deep into the invisible invasion of microplastics and nanoplastics. We aren't just talking about a few stray bits of trash; we’re talking about particles so small they bypass your natural defenses, entering your body through ingestion, inhalation, and even skin contact. ⚠️ Why Your Immune System Is Losing the War Unlike natural bacteria, your body has no "delete" button for plastic. This leads to a state of chronic inflammation as your immune system fruitlessly attacks these indestructible intruders. In this deep dive, we explore: - Endocrine Disruptors: How plastic mimics your hormones and wrecks your hormonal balance. - The Fertility Crisis: Why declining reproductive fertility is directly linked to the "plastic plague." - Bioaccumulation: How toxic chemicals migrate into your vital organs and bloodstream. - The Petrochemical Problem: Why personal choices aren't enough without systemic change. This isn't just a health scare; it's a petrochemical crisis. While we discuss how to mitigate risk by choosing natural materials and fresh foods, we also tackle the controversial truth: your "eco-friendly" straw won't save us. We need massive legislative action to regulate global production before we become a walking, talking polymer. Ready to reclaim your biology? 🌍 Listen now to uncover how to protect your family and why the world needs to wake up before we reach the point of no return. 👉 Subscribe to the podcast and share this episode with someone who cares about their health! Let’s start the conversation that the big chemical companies don’t want you to have.
