Scientists have isolated microplastics in the placenta for the first time. This is actually a huge deal as if they're in the placenta then that means they're also in the fetus and babies being developed with microplastics inside them could actually have negative impacts on their health. That includes things like growth restriction, hormonal abnormalities or even a weakened immune system. A recent study by Ragusa and colleagues found that microplastics were identified in ten out of ten placentas from different women. How do these microplastics even get into the woman in the first place so that they can lodge themselves in the placenta? The main ways are actually either by breathing them in or even absorbing them from the gut as these things are now making their way into our food because of environmental contamination. This plastic crisis has got to stop.

A non negotiable when I train or run is I no longer run-in synthetic plastic training gear. Not sure if you've seen the research, but they're finding microplastics in people's bloodstream, even building up in organs. Now, these are known endocrine disruptors, but they also cause a cascade of downstream consequences. I literally threw out thousands of dollars of training gear. Lululemon, Nike, Fabletics, and replaced all of it with Ryker clothing. There's a number of companies out there. I chose Ryker because they use high quality materials, a 100% cotton, merino wool. They're breathable, they're light, and they don't impact my performance. In fact, got them on right now, getting ready for a run.

The math has been challenged, but there was an estimate that some people might consume as much as a credit card's worth of plastic every single week in their food if they're not careful about it. We've now found microplastics in the brain, as I mentioned to you. We found it in the bloodstream. A group in Italy actually looking at men who had narrowing of the carotid artery, that's the blood vessel feeding the brain that comes from the heart right to the brain, the carotid artery. Through the neck. They found that the narrowing that can occur in some men can accumulate plastic. They can actually find plastic particles, just photographs of the chunks of plastic, the particles, fragments of plastic in there, and they followed them over a period of time. Those men who had plastic embedded in their blood vessel lining had a fourfold increase in the chances of having a fatal heart attack or a stroke.

There's emerging human data showing accumulation of microplastics in brain samples taken from human autopsies. In one study, research examined tissues from livers, kidneys, and brains of autopsied individuals. While all organs contained microplastics, that's concerning, the brain samples alone were particularly concerning because on average of the 91 brain samples studied, they contain 10 to 20 times more plastic in the brains than other organs. And these findings are even more disturbing when you consider their implications for neurodegenerative diseases. Among the brain samples studied, twelve were from individuals who had died with dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. These samples contained up to 10 times more plastic by weight compared to those people who had plastics in their brains without dementia.

Microplastics are pervasive, found in furniture, food, clothes, cosmetics, and even our bodies. Scientists estimate the amount of plastic in our brains could be comparable to a plastic spoon or seven pen caps. These particles, less than five millimeters in size, enter our bodies primarily through ingestion. Research indicates that the concentration of microplastics in human brains increased by almost 50% between 2016 and 2024, coinciding with increased plastic production, which doubles every ten to fifteen years. Notably, the brains of people with dementia had even more microplastics. Researchers are investigating links between microplastics and fertility issues, multiple sclerosis, and heart disease. To minimize exposure, experts recommend avoiding plastic water bottles (especially those exposed to sun), not heating food in plastic, and eating lower on the food chain. Reducing overall plastic use requires policy changes, as microplastics will likely continue accumulating in our bodies if plastic use and waste are not curbed.

The Truth About Microplastics - Dr Rhonda Patrick

Guests: Rhonda Patrick

reSee.it Podcast Summary

Rhonda Patrick discusses her recent focus on ultra-processed foods and microplastics, emphasizing their prevalence in our environment and potential health impacts. Microplastics, found in food, water, and air, are tiny plastic particles that can enter the human body through ingestion and inhalation. Studies suggest that we consume hundreds to thousands of microplastic particles daily, with some evidence indicating they accumulate in the brain at higher rates than in other organs, potentially linking them to neuroinflammation and conditions like Alzheimer's disease. Patrick highlights the difficulty of avoiding microplastics due to their ubiquity, stemming from sources like clothing, vehicle tires, and food packaging. She notes that dietary fiber can help mitigate the absorption of microplastics, as certain types encapsulate these particles, promoting their excretion. Additionally, she discusses the harmful chemicals associated with plastics, such as bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates, which disrupt hormonal balance and may affect reproductive health and cognitive function. The conversation also touches on the GRAS loophole in food safety regulations, allowing many chemicals to enter the food supply without thorough FDA review. Patrick explains the distinction between processed and ultra-processed foods, with the latter often containing high levels of added sugars and low nutritional value, contributing to obesity and related health issues. Patrick advises practical steps for reducing exposure to microplastics and harmful chemicals, such as using glass containers instead of plastic, avoiding heating plastic, and filtering drinking water. She emphasizes the importance of a Whole Foods diet rich in fiber and the benefits of regular exercise for overall health and cognitive function. The discussion concludes with a call to be mindful of food choices while acknowledging the challenges of completely avoiding ultra-processed foods in modern life.
