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.

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.

The vaccines are able to cross the blood brain barrier and move into the brain. The highest levels of aluminum found in babies are children with an autism diagnosis, and there's a direct relationship between the amount of aluminum in the brain and the diagnosis of autism. The other population with high aluminum is seniors diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer's, and there's a direct relationship between those conditions and the amount of aluminum in brain tissue. And yet that's what's being injected into our babies. If I took those vaccine ingredients and mixed them with water and offered it, everybody would refuse, and it would be safer to drink than to inject. But when you stick a label vaccine on it, we don't exercise caution. If those ingredients were on baby food, would you give it to your baby? And the answer is no.

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.

Paper cups should absorb water, but if they don't, it's due to a polyethylene plastic barrier. A study found that hot liquids in paper cups leach 25 microplastic particles in fifteen minutes, yet this is largely unexamined. The human body struggles to metabolize plastics, which break down into nanoplastics that can penetrate cell membranes, causing inflammation as the body recognizes them as foreign objects. Microplastics also release plasticizer chemicals and can carry toxic chemicals into the body.

Microplastics are in our diet. With consumerism at an all time high, processed foods are one way that demands are met. Rice is perhaps one of the world's most consumed staple foods. Mechanical processing and plastic packaging leaves microplastic traces throughout. Rice is no exception. Recently Australian scientists have found that in as much as a 100 grams of rice there may be as much as 13 milligrams of microplastic. There is a growing concern as to what impact this will have on our health. The study found that washing your rice can reduce the microplastic content up to 40.

A new study indicates that airborne microplastic contamination is up to 100 times higher than previously estimated. Researchers found an average of 528 microplastics per cubic meter inside homes, and over 2,200 per cubic meter in cars. These microplastics originate from the degradation of plastic objects like carpets and furniture. The research suggests individuals may inhale up to 68,000 microplastics daily. Scientists also note that the ocean contributes to outdoor microplastic levels, with waves near the shore releasing plastics into the air.

Healthy brain tissue is the gray and white matter, you want it to be as plump and like taking up as much space as possible because that's where all of your brain activity is. When people get really old or have dementia, one thing we see is more and more the black space is essentially water. So we see the brain start shrinking and shrinking and there's more water and less active healthy brain tissue. That process is accelerated with heavy alcohol use. And so you can see here, is a 43 year old person with severe alcohol use disorder where their brain looks the way, you know, a nine year old with dementia would look because of that, brain damage over time from alcohol use. Since we can actually, a form of dementia is related to alcohol use, so your brain can be hugely impacted with alcohol.

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.

Microplastics are everywhere, including clothing made of synthetic fabrics like polyester, nylon, and spandex, which shed microplastics when worn and washed. A 2023 study found microplastics in 80% of human blood samples, and another study linked them to a 4.5 times higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Microplastics have also been found in lungs, brain tissue (at 10x higher levels in dementia patients), testosterone and semen (linked to lower fertility), and even placentas and breast milk. Nike, Adidas, and Fabletics use high percentages of polyester in their training wear, leading to microplastic exposure through skin absorption during workouts and release into the water supply during washing. The speaker switched to organic cotton and merino wool clothing. They developed an at-home microplastics test to measure levels in the body. To reduce exposure, check clothing tags, replace synthetic training gear, filter water (as unfiltered tap water contains over 100,000 microplastic particles per year), and avoid plastic food containers and cookware.

Researchers obtained brain tissues from 10 individuals who died with an autism diagnosis from the Autism Brain Bank in the UK. Five brains were suitable for measuring the amount of aluminum present, and all 10 were suitable for imaging aluminum in the brain tissue. Initial measurements revealed astronomical amounts of aluminum, as high as those seen in familial Alzheimer's disease. The researcher directed the PhD student to re-examine the results. The publication noted that the amount of aluminum found in the brain of a 15-year-old boy was almost incomprehensible, with levels almost never measured before. This finding was unexpected.

75% of the human brain's mass is myelin, composed entirely of cholesterol. Alzheimer's disease, a neurodegenerative condition, emerged in 1979 and is now a leading cause of death in the West. Margarine was invented in 1869 for Napoleon's army and gained popularity during World War II due to a shortage of animal fats. By the 1970s, animal fats in margarine were replaced with vegetable oils to reduce cholesterol. Interestingly, margarine is one molecule away from being plastic, highlighting how small differences can lead to vastly different effects on the body. A simple home experiment involves placing butter, vegetable margarine, and plastic outside to observe wildlife attraction. Butter will quickly attract various animals, while margarine and plastic will remain untouched for weeks.

The first documented case of Alzheimer's, described in 1906, was familial Alzheimer's. Research has since found that individuals with familial Alzheimer's have higher levels of aluminum in their brain tissue than almost any other individual. This suggests a predisposition to Alzheimer's is a predisposition to aluminum accumulation in brain tissue. In 2017, the speaker wrote a paper stating categorically that without aluminum in brain tissue, there is no Alzheimer's disease within the normal lifetime of an individual. While other toxins or aging itself could produce similar responses in extreme age, the speaker asserts that aluminum is necessary for Alzheimer's to develop within a normal lifespan.

The Effects of Microplastics on Your Health & How to Reduce Them

reSee.it Podcast Summary

In this episode of the Huberman Lab podcast, Andrew Huberman discusses microplastics, which are tiny plastic particles found everywhere, including in the air, food, and even human tissues. While there is no causal data linking microplastics to specific diseases, there is significant correlative evidence suggesting potential health risks. Microplastics can disrupt cellular and organ health and have been found in various human tissues, including the brain, testicles, and placenta, raising concerns about their impact on health, particularly for pregnant women and young children. Huberman emphasizes the importance of limiting exposure to microplastics and suggests practical steps to do so. These include avoiding bottled water, especially those that have been heated, and using reverse osmosis filters for tap water. He also advises against consuming sea salt and canned soups, which often contain bisphenol A (BPA), a known endocrine disruptor. Other recommendations include using glass or stainless steel containers instead of plastic, avoiding microwave popcorn, and being cautious with clothing that sheds microfibers. Research indicates that microplastics may correlate with conditions like irritable bowel syndrome and hormonal disruptions, particularly in relation to testosterone levels. The episode highlights the need for further research into the long-term effects of microplastics on human health and encourages listeners to be proactive in reducing their exposure. Huberman concludes by stressing the importance of being informed about microplastics and making conscious choices to protect health.

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.

"This Causes Heart Attacks!" - Diet & Lifestyle Habits To Clean Out Your Arteries For Longevity

Guests: Michael Twyman, Neel Patel

reSee.it Podcast Summary

A recent study found that individuals with microplastics in their blood vessels are 4.53 times more likely to experience heart attacks, strokes, or death within three years. The study analyzed plaque from 257 patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy, revealing detectable levels of polyethylene in about 50% of the samples. The presence of microplastics in the immune system's macrophages caused oxidative stress and inflammation, raising concerns about their impact on vascular health. Experts suggest that while completely eliminating microplastics is unrealistic, individuals can take steps to protect themselves. Drinking filtered water, preferably from reverse osmosis systems, and being mindful of air quality, especially during sleep, are recommended. Vascular health is crucial for longevity, and many heart attacks are preventable through early lifestyle interventions focusing on endothelial health and risk factors like high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, diabetes, smoking, and obesity. The endothelium, a one-cell-thick lining of arteries, plays a critical role in vascular health. Impaired endothelium can lead to inflammation and plaque formation. Precision cardiology is emerging as a field that emphasizes individualized care, focusing on the health of arteries rather than just treating symptoms. Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death globally, with over 800,000 heart attacks occurring annually in the U.S. Many heart attacks could be prevented with early interventions. Standard advice includes monitoring lipid panels, blood pressure, A1C levels, and lifestyle factors like exercise. However, numerous other risk factors can affect vascular health. The endothelial glycocalyx, a protective gel coating on arteries, is crucial for preventing plaque formation. Factors like smoking, high insulin levels, air pollution, and microplastics can damage the glycocalyx, leading to increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Repairing the glycocalyx involves lifestyle changes, such as increasing physical activity and consuming green leafy vegetables. Metabolic health is gaining attention, with a focus on pre-diabetes and blood sugar management. Building resilience against environmental toxins and promoting cardiovascular health through exercise and resistance training are essential. Nitric oxide, a vasodilator produced by healthy endothelium, is vital for maintaining normal blood flow and preventing plaque buildup. The podcast emphasizes the importance of personalized dietary approaches to heart health. While various diets can be beneficial, individual responses vary based on genetics and metabolic health. Recommendations include consuming a Mediterranean-style diet, avoiding ultra-processed foods, and ensuring adequate intake of omega-3 fatty acids. Supplementation may be necessary for individuals not meeting dietary needs. Nitric oxide boosters, omega-3 supplements, and specific products like Arterosil and Kyolic garlic can support vascular health and potentially reduce plaque buildup. Statins remain a common pharmaceutical intervention, though their use should be tailored to individual patient needs and genetic factors. The Clearly test, which assesses plaque volume in arteries, is highlighted as a sensitive diagnostic tool for predicting cardiovascular risk. It can identify soft plaques that are more likely to rupture and cause heart attacks. The podcast concludes by emphasizing the importance of proactive health management, focusing on lifestyle changes, testing, and personalized interventions to improve vascular health and longevity.
