Thank you, Rhonda. As many as people as possible need to become aware of the worldwide crisis of microplastics. The issue of microplastics is even more complex than when we used to use leaded gasoline, which caused a widespread drop in IQ.
I remember being a little kid eating microwave popcorn and literally scraping the butter-plastic-chemical sludge from the sides of the bag and eating it. No wonder I have so many shortcomings 😔
Ya my wife loves putting hot food on plastic plates and serving to my kids i tell her you need to let the food cool down first. need to go buy some glass plates 😢
I berate my coworkers for using plastic utensils ir plates during our lunch break constantly. I'm that guy who carries a set of stainless steel fork and knife and a foldable knife everywhere I go and avoid plastic near my food at all cost. Take those plastic plates and tiss them in the garbage!!! Get bamboo plates/bowls if glass/porcelain is of concern.
Thank you for this Rhonda! I really appreciate your work, it has helped me tremendously! I will watch this when I get some time. I recently decided to stop wearing all clothes containing synthetic materials (with a few exceptions). I got a much better water filter and am storing my water in copper. I never put any plastic in the microwave or heat it around my food. And by the way, I am right now in the process of learning how to sprout my own seeds, including broccoli! You were the one that introduced me to broccoli sprouts! Thanks! 😃
If we drink or eat these mircoplastics, they would for sure end up in the colon. How does the microbiome play a part in helping ? Some microorganisms have been found to possess enzymes capable of breaking down certain types of plastics. Thank you
thank you Rhonda !! I know you're a big fan of broccoli spouts. (I can see why) it seems SOOO overwhelming after hearing your podcast. This is a fight we may not win 100 percent, but all your info is good for reducing the effects of all these "Poisons". Thank you for your immense knowledge of our health. I've been listening to you for quite some time. Thanks again. !
listening to you I wonder what is the intention? There is no way that we will stop using plastics whatsoever. Production continues and the breakdown of plastic due to UV light or physical impact will also continue...... the breakdown of supply chains thus civilization seems to be the only hope to stop the contamination
Do Pet bottles contian microplastics and does this have a meaningful effecto on body? . also rhonda excellent pdocast. please more! like huebermna every week.
I believe nano sized zeolite can detox/remove microplastics. Studies have shown this can be done in wastewater, no published human studies yet, but zeolite is safe to ingest, so may be a safe way to mitigate the problem without chelating important trace minerals. Zeolite has shown to also safely remove heavy metals from bodily tissues
My mom used to eat a lot of oat meal heated up in plastic bowls when she was pregnant with me. I have a normal anogenital distance, but a skinny weeny and other issues that will lead to my suicide. Uh oh.
Getting companies onboard to create reasonable alternatives to synthetic materials/plastics. I’ve been drinking canned water. Hopefully this will incentivize companies to put water in cans instead of plastic and drive down the price of canned water.
Pointing out is Not easy, i appreciate her but if one listens closely . . . . there's some vague 'pointing out' rather than solid provable real evidence.
Geez I purchase RO water but it’s stored in large plastic bottles- time to switch to glass….so heavy but I guess it’s a twofer safer and weight lifting 😅
Would help to have a break down by plastic types (they don't make it easy to find percentages). Thinking about sous vide bags. Seems like HDPE kept below 190F is safer (maybe?). Water bottles: polyethylene terephthalate (PET) - 78.8 percent polycarbonate (PC) - 12 percent high density polyethylene (HDPE) - 9.2 percent. Sous Vide bags listed as: Polyamide also known as Nylon High density polyethylene (HDPE) And then newer microwave safe containers say it uses 'Tritan'. "Tritan, a copolymer offered by the Eastman Chemical Company since 2007, is a transparent plastic intended to replace polycarbonate, because of health concerns about Bisphenol A (BPA). Tritan is a copolymer made from three monomers: dimethyl terephthalate (DMT), cyclohexanedimethanol (CHDM), and 2,2,4,4-Tetramethyl-1,3-cyclobutanediol (CBDO).Tritan (PCTG) is made without using any bisphenols or phthalates."
Studies on leeching besides BPA just mention "The researchers bought more than 450 plastic items from stores including Walmart and Whole Foods. They chose products designed to come in contact with food - things like baby bottles, deli packaging and flexible bags" Would like to find a study on HDPE specifically.
spoiler alert - plastic comes mainly from chemtrails ( metals are attached to plastic to make that ,,protecting shield ,, that we really ,really need -yeah ? )

Maybe the scariest, eye opening podcast I’ve heard, thank u dr Patrick for sharing this with all, what an epic episode 🙏
Brocoli sprouts are the gift that keep on giving, amazing.
Ya my wife loves putting hot food on plastic plates and serving to my kids i tell her you need to let the food cool down first. need to go buy some glass plates 😢

Ceramic works too. There are many plastic alternatives. But you're right, avoid heat + plastic.
Thanks for speaking out on such an important topic

Amazing episode. Really shows the importance of trying to minimize these microplastics!
superb content
RO filters use plastic to filter the water doesn’t it, how do we know the filter is not breaking down into the water?
I’m sure it removes more than it releases. I use RO to fill my water distiller. Saves me cleaning time
How ironic isnt it? The best solution is something made out of plastic. I use one but still.
plastic is not plastic. And guess what, we even place plastic into our organs on purpose, e.g. catheters or to enhance breasts

Is there plastic in corn?
Is there a RO system you would suggest Rhonda? Re mineralization drops? Thank you for sharing !
Let’s not forget, the plastic that lines most of the cans.
Thorne Crucera SGS a good source for Sulphorophane?
How about moringa?
My mom used to eat a lot of oat meal heated up in plastic bowls when she was pregnant with me. I have a normal anogenital distance, but a skinny weeny and other issues that will lead to my suicide. Uh oh.
Does this also include refillable plastic bottles like Nalgene bottles?
thanks
Isn't the PLASTIC used in Spring and Mineral water or even Distilled water bottles - supposed to be NEUTRAL, by law?
Endocrine Hazards!
Not topo chico ?!?!?!
Corn tastes like plastic
I can’t believe u mention this, I thought I was crazy but ur right almost artificial
didnt taste like this before
Pointing out the problems is easy. Pointing out reasonable solutions for regular people is hard.
Getting companies onboard to create reasonable alternatives to synthetic materials/plastics. I’ve been drinking canned water. Hopefully this will incentivize companies to put water in cans instead of plastic and drive down the price of canned water.

🙏 thank you for this
Wait, I thought pfas were banned in microwave popcorn in North America. Please tell me I’m not wrong!!!! 😳
Geez I purchase RO water but it’s stored in large plastic bottles- time to switch to glass….so heavy but I guess it’s a twofer safer and weight lifting 😅
Plasma donation reduces pfas in the blood by 30% after donating one time every 6 weeks
Blood letting- back in style!
Reverse Osmosis removes up to 99.9% of microplastics... what about distilled water?
Tires…
What do you use for these to filter water?
a plastic compound filter 😂
Again, the best way to avoid this is being rich.
I ducking love my Lululemon clothes but its basically a derivative of plastics.
😢
😱😳😫
Also Rhonda, much love from Chicago but an important note, just because it’s MICROWAVE SAFE doesnt mean at all its safe for humans.
That fact is stated explicitly in the episode!
@@FoundMyFitness I watched 5 mins on break Im sorry, I promise to watch the rest later on the drive back LOL
Would help to have a break down by plastic types (they don't make it easy to find percentages). Thinking about sous vide bags.
Seems like HDPE kept below 190F is safer (maybe?).
Water bottles:
polyethylene terephthalate (PET) - 78.8 percent
polycarbonate (PC) - 12 percent
high density polyethylene (HDPE) - 9.2 percent.
Sous Vide bags listed as:

And then newer microwave safe containers say it uses 'Tritan'.

Fearmongering bullshit.
Rhonda keeps talking about water and I guarantee some soda-only drinkers will say to themselves: “Ha, suck it water drinkers!”
i dont think they will say this
i’m scared to watch this
