No one sells water in glass bottles where I live, I've looked everywhere. The tap water around here is awful, not drinking it. Now get water in plastic bottles and filter the water with Brita blue filters, also have a Zero Water filter but the water that comes out of that is also awful. Hepa filters aren't as effective as a home built box fan filter with an MERV 11 or 13 filter on it. Yes, Hepa trap more particles but they don't draw in enough air to be effective, a box filters draw in WAY more air. Plus, a hepa filter system costs over $100, home built you can do for $20 and the filters themselves are way cheaper.
I just bought a Brita 6-cup BPA-free pitcher water filter. Yes, BPA-free doesn't mean it's free of all toxic chemicals, but it's likely better than filter pitchers that aren't BPA-free. I bought the Brita and retired my Pur because Brita sells the Brita Elite filter cartridge certified to remove microplastics and a lot of other chemicals too. The Brita Elite filter costs $20 and lasts 6 months versus 2 months for the regular Brita filter cartridge.
Hate to break it to you, but that pitcher and its filter are all made of plastic anyway. All plastic is bad, bpa or bps are two of thousands of abbreviatipns. Eg. Bpf, bpf-1 bpf-b etc. You made a step in the right direction but get to a point where you expect some logic to add up.
Check out the air purifier brand IQ Air. They have a hyper-HEPA filter which can capture down to 0.003 microns. That's smaller than most viruses. IQ Air was used to combat SARS-CoV-1 and -2 in most hosptials in Hong Kong.
microwave safe only means that the resin was dried in a kiln prior to shooting in mold. When water is removed from the plastic it won't heat up in the microwave. The microwave is a mono frequency generator & is tuned to the oxygen hydrogen bond, so having water molecules suspended in the a plastic matrix will cause them to heat when exposed to that frequency of radiation. That heat rapidly spreads into the neighboring areas. Ceramics have the same issue, sometimes mugs or bowls heat up in the microwave for the same reason, they were not fired not or hot enough to drive out the water. Water is the most common substance, but it is super wacky when you compare it to other materials. It's electric polarity causes it to be a liquid at room temp and pressure, which is bonkers when you consider that most other materials of a similar molecular weight are gasses. Take diatomic oxygen, which is almost twice the weight of water but remains a gas all the way down to single digit kelvin. Another wild water fact is that water can store more thermal energy that pretty much any substance on a per weight basis. Water surely deserves it's status on any pantheon of mystical characters. We are made of it & everyone deserves to have a source for it that is plentiful and clean. god bless.
what are the odds that the mineral supplements will be full of microplastics? I've hear supplements and powders are full of them but am curious to hear Dr. Rhonda's ideas on this.
I heard that clothing fiber blends actually increase the shedding of microplastics. 100% polyester fibers stick to each other and they shed a lot less than blended fibers that do not stick to each other well, until the 100% polyester material starts to fray through physical wear or molecular degredation, atleast. At that point, it's worse. So, cotton polyester blends actually shed more micro plastics in the short term.

I got a big glass jar with a spigot on the bottom to use for crystal light iced tea. I used to just put it in a plastic bottle and shake it to mix it up. You can also get a re-usable aluminum water bottle to take with you, but I do not have one. This may reduce my plastic intake somewhat, but it's really everywhere. I think the FDA would have to put some limits on how food is packaged to remove it from my diet.
All aluminum water bottles are sadly lined with plastic, including smart water etc, as well as aluminum cups from Ball. This is because aluminum can't withstand long term contact with water without degrading.

get the osmosis filter and eat whole foods and avoid bottled water, but more important is to grieve and preparing for the end. these are the last years of the good ole days. There is beauty in everyday, in every smile, and tell the ones you love that you love them.
Thank you for this! Is it true that boiling water can remove 90% of Microplastics and other harmful chemicals? And are RO countertop filters effective being that they are made of plastic?
Another option for water is what is called a Ultra Filtration system. Doesnt take out dissolved minerals. Can take particles out down to 0.01 uM. Although RO and Ultra filtraion systems may indroduce plastics themselves. The hope is that they take out more. I have not seen any test results either way.
Reverse osmosis membranes are made from plastic, ironically enough, but likely add much less plastic than they filter out so are absolutely worth using.
Just a heads up…if you don’t have a water softener don’t install a reverse osmosis system until you install a water softener. The reason, the reverse osmosis filter will clog up pretty quickly.
I avoid microwaving food in any plastic containers, however I noticed my 98yo mother's kitchen microwave, she has one of those plastic spatter covers to avoid having to clean the inside of the microwave if she heats something that spatters. It really doesn't touch the food, but does incase it, I cannot locate any study to validate they are harmful, but going to avoid using one.. I use those brown paper lunch sacks for spatter containment one example; I microwave raw mushrooms in a paper sack lunch bag that soaks up the agaritine toxin, which I toss after it cooks.
really appreciate these videos. hot damn though.,,,what the actual fuck are we supposed to do anymore. life is so stressful and complex and now we have to worry about this
I have a reverse osmosis countertop system but I do wonder about all the plastic its filters are made out of lol, can only hope it's far less exposure than what was in the tap water

Get back to healthy living and eating as God intended..and frankly let's get back to His morals and values while we are at it. The world and certainly America was better off when we were.
The polymers that make plastics are brittle, not plastic. The easiest way to see this is look at a bottle that has been left in the sun for a long time. All end product plastics must have a plasticizer added to produce a product with the desired properties.
German water typically has more minerals. When you drink tap water in Germany it has a distinct flavor. Pellegrino is basically distilled when compared to most German mineral water wrt Ca and Mg concentrations. I don't know about chemicals. I'd be interested to see some data on how the packaging in glass and or plastic affect the water. What is the delta between Pellegrino packaged in glass vs plastic. Good to be concerned and do the low hanging fruit things as a precaution, but having a stress response over it could be just as bad. that's my 2cents worth.

get the osmosis filter and eat whole foods and avoid bottled water, but more important is to grieve and preparing for the end. these are the last years of the good ole days. There is beauty in everyday, in every smile, and tell the ones you love that you love them.
Please comment on the recent reported problems with reverse osmosis home systems. Thank you for keeping us informed.
Sometimes she scares me but I love her!🥰😅
Amazing info. Could you shed any light on the likelihood of a RO system harboring mold or film inside the tank over a while? Or is that a non-issue.
What about the plastic in reverse osmosis water filters?
I think about this everytime I switch out the filters
@@Spaltyslifeme too.
Thank you for this! Is it true that boiling water can remove 90% of Microplastics and other harmful chemicals? And are RO countertop filters effective being that they are made of plastic?
Godlee... But I am thankful for this information you are sharing and the work you did to obtain it.
How have we let this happen? How have we let all these corporations poison us little by little?
Another option for water is what is called a Ultra Filtration system. Doesnt take out dissolved minerals. Can take particles out down to 0.01 uM.
Although RO and Ultra filtraion systems may indroduce plastics themselves. The hope is that they take out more. I have not seen any test results either way.
Ultra filtration will not remove ions only particles so I don't think they would remove any of these chemicals she's talking about.
Amazing video. Thanks for putting this together. It's really helpful
Reverse osmosis membranes are made from plastic, ironically enough, but likely add much less plastic than they filter out so are absolutely worth using.
More videos like this pls
Thank you!
Great information but In the end we are all going to die of something. You do the best you can.
Thoughts on silicone?
How about suing the companies for using dangerous packaging that are poisoning us?
Thank you so much Rhonda!! ❤
OMG so much work. Please Help help me Rhonda, help me Rhonda yeah, get it out of my heartttt!
what about fresh foods that are packaged in plastics like the ones you see at Trader Joe's? This is eye opening!
If they're in plastic, they're probably not fresh.
Kcups too id imagine. Long ago i realized man these plastic things are bathing is suuuuper hot water and going riiight into my cup lol.
Just a heads up…if you don’t have a water softener don’t install a reverse osmosis system until you install a water softener. The reason, the reverse osmosis filter will clog up pretty quickly.
I have a water softener but my water quality is still bad _.
@@Refiningforge water softeners are programmable and can increase or decrease the amount of, “softness” or “hardness” if you will.
@@jarednelson1865 interesting.. we had it serviced a few months ago and didn’t hear about it. It’s Rainsoft equipment. I’ll look into it. Thanks
I avoid microwaving food in any plastic containers, however I noticed my 98yo mother's kitchen microwave, she has one of those plastic spatter covers to avoid having to clean the inside of the microwave if she heats something that spatters. It really doesn't touch the food, but does incase it, I cannot locate any study to validate they are harmful, but going to avoid using one..
I use those brown paper lunch sacks for spatter containment one example; I microwave raw mushrooms in a paper sack lunch bag that soaks up the agaritine toxin, which I toss after it cooks.
really appreciate these videos. hot damn though.,,,what the actual fuck are we supposed to do anymore. life is so stressful and complex and now we have to worry about this
Right, I’m feeling really deflated.
Vote trump and RFK Jr 2024
Make America healthy again!
It’s a start……
Have you watched the recent US Senate round table on USA health and nutrition?
So many vehicle tires wear out. Where do these rubber particles go??
I have a reverse osmosis countertop system but I do wonder about all the plastic its filters are made out of lol, can only hope it's far less exposure than what was in the tap water
It is and at the same time you get rid of all the other shit in the tap water
Is the granite induction cookware safe?
Great info.
Another informative video!
What about skincare and hair care that come in plastic yay or nah?
Thank you for all the information 👍🏽
Thanks for this!!
Somewhere I read that non-toxic alternatives to BPA/S etc are available but only one report so don't know if it''s true. Very informative video, thank Ronda.
Extended and prolonged fasts should help in removing toxic particles from you body.
Mom loved to 88
Healthy until Covid
I’m sure glad no one told her about all this stuff
She used microwave every day
Ate a lot of canned food
It makes you wonder if our bodies filter a lot of this
Great information thank you
Our bodies detox pathways are overwhelmed now
What about soda streams ?
What are your related thoughts on PEX tubing as water transport in housing?
Most homes use copper plumbing for incoming lines, but things like water softeners would use PEX.
@@mediocreman2 In my house, and most recent builds that I'm familiar with, the copper stops at the external wall and everything inside the house is PEX. I just wonder what it, especially in hot water transport, might be adding to the water.
What about the Brita water filter ?
wow did not realise its in the air too this is madness
Wear a mask, and you will be safe.
Plastic spreads more when heated? But more so through water than air? So airfryers are typically safe?
It's just impossible to avoid plastic. Any way to make our bodies detoxify microplastic?
Discussed at this timestamp in the main episode: th-cam.com/video/HTzw_grLzjw/w-d-xo.html
@@FoundMyFitnessClips thanks so much!!
Of course the answer is sulforaphane 😂
Is distilling water a good way to get rid of microplastcis?
Thank you dr rhonda
When is someone goin to sue the fucking pants off of these companies or regulatory bodies that make this possible ?
The ZeroWater filter does what it says.
So informative, thank you! Whatever happened to 100% cotton jeans? Oh is it we need them to stretch to fit the weight gain..what in the world have we done to our food and water and how did we just bury our heads in the sand to let it happen? I can’t believe what has happened to the quality of clothing that is sold in stores and we put it on our bodies! Pure chem! ❤
@claudettesechler149 I would say they have masterly kept us in never ending debt for so long that we are grateful for processed, easily prepared meals that cause us to be addicted to them, shuts off the chemical in our bodies that tells us we are full, requiring stretchy clothes and doctors, pharmacies and subpar life. Get back to healthy living and eating as God intended..and frankly let's get back to His morals and values while we are at it. The world and certainly America was better off when we were.
Any brands for natural fiber clothing, daily wear and fitness cloths?
Thank you, it was interesting
Practical...we like it!
The polymers that make plastics are brittle, not plastic. The easiest way to see this is look at a bottle that has been left in the sun for a long time. All end product plastics must have a plasticizer added to produce a product with the desired properties.
Does a water filter work?
Reverse osmosis systems generally store the water in petroleum based bladders inside of pressure tanks.
Does a brita jug/gallon work???
What about Gerolsteiner? 🤔
German water typically has more minerals. When you drink tap water in Germany it has a distinct flavor. Pellegrino is basically distilled when compared to most German mineral water wrt Ca and Mg concentrations. I don't know about chemicals. I'd be interested to see some data on how the packaging in glass and or plastic affect the water. What is the delta between Pellegrino packaged in glass vs plastic. Good to be concerned and do the low hanging fruit things as a precaution, but having a stress response over it could be just as bad. that's my 2cents worth.
5:49 not stainless steel?
I like to highlight and bring to everyones attention. Don’t trust industry.!!!
What about drinking tea?
The tea bags have micro plastics too 😢😮
Some tea bags have no plastics. Numi brand perhaps
San Pelligrino has graphine oxide in it. Put it down and back away quickly. ;)
is there a way to detox plastics from the body?
