0:43

forty thousand detectable plastic fragments from as

0:45

arrogant a liter of water from a

0:47

posse water bottle contains two hundred and

0:49

forty thousand detectable plastic fragments. And that's

0:52

about ten to one hundred times more

0:54

than previous estimates. And about ninety percent

0:56

of these fragments were nano plastics, not

Welcome that are Just Pharmacy and

4:19

another edition of Help Bites Hi

4:21

I'm Doctor Mark. I'm an entree

4:23

special episode we discuss a topic

4:25

is quite literally everywhere but mostly

4:27

invisible micro plastics. Now you might

4:29

have seen the headlines about the

4:32

threat lurking in our oceans, our

4:34

soil or air. and yes, even

4:36

in our own bodies. According to

4:38

the new estimates, we just have

4:40

to a whole credit cards worth

4:42

a plastic every week without realizing.

4:44

it's pretty wild. micro plastics are.

4:46

Also linked to hormonal imbalances to

4:48

weight gain cancer. New studies also

4:50

found Michael plastic chunks in the

4:52

plaque of individuals with coronary artery

4:54

disease. The Us and now we

4:56

all know plastic is here to

4:58

stay. But the burning question remains:

5:00

what can we do about it?

5:02

How can we reduce our exposure?

5:04

And how can we detoxify our

5:06

bodies from his insidious particles? That's

5:08

exactly what we're gonna talk about

5:10

today and will start with what

5:13

exactly are micro plastic? So I

5:15

your plastics are tiny little. Plastic Particles

5:17

list and five millimeters and size. Now

5:19

they can be as small as a

5:21

grain of sand or even smaller invisibles.

5:23

The naked eye microfossils can be broken

5:26

down even further into minuscule size plastic

5:28

particles called nano particles Know none of

5:30

us, it's or less than a hundred

5:32

ninety meters and size. And for reference

5:34

anatomy, there is a billionth of a

5:37

meters on times very big and are

5:39

much much more difficult to detect vs.

5:41

micro past. So why are these so

5:43

bad? There pervasive in our environment they're

5:45

ubiquitous in have become. A significant him

5:48

are more concerned to their wise bread

5:50

pervasiveness in the water in our soil

5:52

and or air and it can take

5:54

anywhere between twenty and five hundred. He

5:56

hears her plastic waste to decompose. even

5:58

then it never really. While he disappears,

6:01

it just gets smaller and smaller and

6:03

smaller Examples of how micro plastic shopping

6:05

are: Marmot are everywhere now because of

6:07

their small size microprocessor infiltrate ecosystems from

6:09

the bottom of the ocean to the

6:12

tops of glaciers. I mean the Great

6:14

Pacific Garbage Patch is a micro plastic

6:16

island the size of Texas is spans

6:18

from the west coast of North America

6:20

to Japan. Seventy percent of that debris

6:23

sinks to the by the ocean. Forty

6:25

million tons of micro plastics exist on

6:27

the ocean floor and microfossils have been

6:29

identified. In the core of ice caps

6:32

and Iceland righteous came back from pretty

6:34

frightening says is very remote matter plastics

6:36

are easy adjusted by wildlife and then

6:38

they bout you might have the food

6:40

chain which that course negative impacts wildlife

6:42

and human health is where the top

6:44

of food chain tilts. What impacts. Do.

6:46

Make A have on human Health while

6:48

and the Cdc National Airport I human

6:50

exposure to environmental chemicals. Scientists analyzed urine

6:53

samples from two thousand and five hundred

6:55

and seventeen individuals a six and above

6:57

for Bp A and they found almost

6:59

every participant contain Bps as bisbee noise.

7:01

Now exposure from the time or in

7:03

utero is also going on. It's not

7:05

just what we get warmer health I

7:08

have outside the womb, It's inside the

7:10

womb. A recent study published in Touch

7:12

Logical Sciences analyze sixty two percent of

7:14

samples and micro classics are present in.

7:16

All of them with polyethylene what tossing

7:18

days and modern models and suits in

7:20

his actually made of these account for

7:22

most of the nano and my for

7:24

plastics Also these microprocessor fact are immune

7:27

system the drive information now when they're

7:29

inhale they're ingesting and our food they

7:31

awesome will cause or causes bios as

7:33

circumstances in the gut flora though cause

7:35

Aussie stress and information which just drive

7:37

further information and chronic systemic inflammation is

7:39

a social every known chronic disease i

7:41

can you stay in mice and found

7:43

that Micro Five Six have been shown

7:45

to penetrate the. Got barrier causing a

7:47

leaky gut was then creates a more

7:50

issues right? We get more information and

7:52

the food particles met your parcels and

7:54

migrant into the bloodstream and me information

7:56

near affects every organ such as are

7:59

liver, kidneys, In and they also doctor

8:01

metabolic health causing insulin resistance and worse

8:03

So this the screws up your whole

8:05

liver got access and increases the risk

8:08

of pre diabetes and diabetes and in

8:10

some assistance of the affect every aspect

8:12

of our biology. They also described hormones.

8:14

bees are also called endocrine disruptors I'm

8:16

a plastic contain chemical additives like solid

8:19

surface venal A or B P A

8:21

and from laid flame retardants which are

8:23

just pure the mainland sourcing A B

8:25

P A Bta is structurally similar estrogen

8:27

and as he mimics estrogen the body.

8:30

Which is why soon as easy know

8:32

where for nests and it binds to

8:34

the estrogen receptors. a minute alters hormone

8:36

signaling, was nodding a bank. Bp A

8:38

causes epigenetic changes so it really changes

8:40

the way your genes are expressed by

8:42

something called the in in isolation and

8:45

then that causes all kinds of other

8:47

issues reproductive issues, cancer, metabolic issues, weight

8:49

gain. It also affects reproductive system function.

8:51

So when you have exposure, these micro

8:53

pa and chemicals and your ability to

8:55

reproduce and be pay for example impacts

8:57

the female reproductive system and fertility by.

9:00

Sexy maturation of eggs in the beginning

9:02

and your menstrual cycle and be pay

9:04

is also associated with P C O

9:06

S or polycystic ovarian syndrome and endometriosis

9:08

which by the way is it out

9:11

amuses be paid as inspect women. It

9:13

also affects man in and screws up

9:15

for managing as as meaning the making

9:17

endosperm. It's also so she would lower

9:20

testosterone levels and reduced sperm count, rid

9:22

of sperm motility and increase sperm dna

9:24

damage Not what you want to have

9:26

it, you're having a baby Me: call

9:29

these changes epigenetic changes. Derek their imprinting

9:31

on your at the genome which then

9:33

has trans generational effect. So what happens

9:35

to a say the grandparents and happened

9:37

to the grandchild because of the insult

9:39

that happened to the grandparent? This affects

9:41

the fertility of progeny of many future

9:43

generations which is very scary and were

9:45

single kinda weird stuff and animals even

9:47

in humans. General abnormalities influence on brain

9:49

six development as V P also has

9:51

to that have sex for men read

9:53

their anti and jet engines are male

9:56

hormones responsible for the means of male

9:58

sex trade. Psyche no hair and. The

10:00

and muscle mass and on the things

10:02

we like one hand, but Bp A

10:04

affects the brain sixty vomit in fetuses

10:06

and alters the expression so little changes

10:09

that reproductive system of the developing fetus

10:11

which is really terrifying to make A

10:13

We are seeing a lot of linkages

10:15

to these environmental chemical some classics with

10:17

obesity. They're called obese A Djinns carcinogens

10:20

but obesity hands and human studies have

10:22

shown a positive correlation between urinary levels

10:24

of Bph and your Bmr your weight

10:26

According to the enhanced A to this

10:29

is the National Health. And nutrition examination

10:31

survey data says tens of thousands marathons over

10:33

decades and decades those are the highest levels

10:35

of Bp exposure were more likely to be

10:37

obese. Now why could be just because the

10:39

people who are studying to had a high

10:42

Bp also didn't pay much attention to how

10:44

for other reasons has called the unhealthy user

10:46

bias or maybe mail is because they're eating

10:48

more processed food and eating thinking from or

10:50

plastic stuff. Maybe that there's a reason there

10:53

but the mechanism is that it has estrogenic

10:55

activity and it promotes that cell division and

10:57

accumulation. So basically Bph causes and some resistance.

10:59

it. Causes more fatso accumulation, inhibits to

11:01

release of important hormonal adiponectin which is

11:03

an anti inflammatory insulin sensitizing hormone and

11:05

it actually ourselves regulate blood sugar burning

11:07

fat and is secreted by fat cells

11:09

that we have high most of these

11:11

toxins you don't get out for nekton

11:13

and you'll get all the benefits Bps

11:15

also linked to abnormal cholesterol and that

11:17

despite also such as soon as and

11:19

the got four and a taxi me

11:22

I meaning tosses getting and body from

11:24

the got as that that are caused

11:26

by damaged outlining the ostling to Isis

11:28

stress to up in from existence high.

11:30

Levels of fasting insulin and also inhibits

11:32

that break down and and leads to

11:34

weight gain. So he's a really nasty

11:36

and they're everywhere and it's allowed in

11:38

our food supply. When else does Bp

11:40

I do I'll watch Sesame Bride or

11:42

any this in your system and is

11:44

is by were everywhere. You really pay

11:46

attention to cans and packaging and credit

11:48

card receipts and eight him receipts all

11:50

these have Bpm them sees one of

11:52

the on such as numerous has received.

11:54

Also Bp a causes cancer it binds

11:56

to eschew receptor is out ones with

11:58

how alpha and beta men activates the

12:00

same singly pass ways in these estrogen

12:03

sensitive issues that you would from s

12:05

gents and that leads to breast cancer,

12:07

ovarian cancer, uterus scheme effect prostate health

12:09

This increases all kinds of bad things

12:11

like cell proliferation, cancer cell formation, cancerous

12:13

tumors and depending on the genetics and

12:15

your environment and level exposure of your

12:17

risk is gonna be higher Now there

12:19

are other mechanisms that does that that

12:21

be taken cause damage within those include

12:23

more Casado toxicity which is means is

12:25

a poison so it's just for directly

12:27

poisons the south A precise his stress

12:29

and. It damages our dna was has

12:31

tumor effects of this just many many

12:34

pathways that this is betsy of what

12:36

else if there wasn't some They also

12:38

there's another that right heart disease and

12:40

long term addled exposure to be Che

12:42

his associate with all sorts of things

12:44

like heart disease and hypertension, atherosclerosis packed

12:46

development heart attacks as he saw that

12:48

the data is pretty scary about this

12:50

and the research shows. For example, tenure

12:52

study in the Uk done by Meltzer

12:55

and others found that higher Bp exposure

12:57

correlates with an increased incidence of coronary

12:59

heart disease more. Heart attacks. Another observation.

13:01

Stadiums observational. those pretty scary ass in

13:03

England Journal of Medicine at looked at

13:05

the presence of and micro and then

13:07

of plastics in the plaque of three

13:09

hundred and four asymptomatic people who underwent

13:11

carotid and directness cleaning out the blockages

13:13

and then the arteries in the neck

13:15

and neck now permit strokes And they

13:17

looked at the micro plastics in that

13:19

plaque and they'd tried to track it.

13:21

How are correlated with heart Attacks? Strokes

13:23

and Er das are more causes. About

13:25

thirty four months later and what was

13:27

really frightening was that polyethylene. One of

13:29

these micro. Plastics was detected in the

13:31

crowd Rt plaque of fifty eight point

13:33

four percent of patients and Tv see

13:35

from Pvc pipes pie vinyl chloride from

13:37

vinyl flooring, credit cards, medical devices furniture

13:39

was detected in twelve percent of patients

13:41

know when they looked through Adam a

13:43

special kind of microscope call them electron

13:45

microscope but it's very small small things

13:47

as showed visible jagged edge, micro and

13:49

nana posse particles in the plaque significantly

13:51

increasing the risk for for a primer

13:53

and point events meaning heart attacks strokes

13:55

by four hundred and fifty three percent.

13:57

Meaning if if you had higher amounts

13:59

of micro and then deposits in your

14:01

crowd artery you had a much much

14:04

higher risk of having a major cardiac

14:06

event or stroke than those he didn't

14:08

have this micro plastics in their arteries

14:10

Now other studies have shown that people

14:12

with high blood pressure and no heart

14:14

rate their ability to nab higher total

14:16

as you're in a Bp A So

14:18

that's concerning so cause high blood pressure

14:20

and part of a blaze of rain

14:22

for measure be overall cardiovascular fitness sort

14:24

of the top sources of micro plastic

14:26

exposure you want to know Now it's

14:28

cause always bad things while out your

14:30

processed. Food packaging just don't eat crap even

14:32

if the I grabbed is not good for

14:34

you is no reason to eat it is

14:36

not actually food he should never never put

14:38

that postulates iron and I've done many a

14:40

podcasting the like us on what else are

14:42

processed foods arm what they do but it's

14:44

is pretty frightened so where you find allowed

14:47

now also these make a posse so cancer

14:49

Bp a line cans, coffee consulates who drinks

14:51

and I was copies team bring your own

14:53

top posts me on kit salt even south

14:55

has at a table salt which is the

14:57

altar process to us as a lot but

14:59

to as. That has microprocessor teabags. the

15:01

how to measure find coffee filters but they're

15:03

not. Tie propylene is a type of plastic

15:06

is used to seal teabags is kept some

15:08

kind of together in hot water. But my

15:10

guide cause their posse can leach in your

15:12

t A single classic see bag at the

15:15

bring temperature can release. Get this or levin

15:17

point Six billion maker classics and three point

15:19

one billion nano classics as scary as Trump's

15:21

environmental science and technology. Eternal drink coffee machines

15:24

at a spicy to being and applies to

15:26

will get things they do. I mean I

15:28

don't see what should be seen. That classic

15:30

Water bottles, soda bottles, any beverage containers which

15:32

is B P line, plastic containers, cops, bags

15:34

shrink wrapped up or were off and cutting

15:37

boards yet to be really careful I just

15:39

try use natural products for so here price.

15:41

also another big source of these. My composite

15:43

face wash has his microbial exponents tallied some

15:45

lotion screams toothpaste you skin deep Wishes of

15:47

database from the Memo working group the kids

15:49

who died on what to eat I use

15:51

and eat your body I would to clean

15:54

your house had to doesn't have all these

15:56

crappy things. Hits home and watch out for

15:58

you make up. As I said. Skincare

16:00

products are full of these micro plastics what

16:02

am I? your clothes were close also an

16:04

issue. Polyester and synthetic fibers also are a

16:07

big issue because when you watch them as

16:09

make a pisces drain it for water supply

16:11

ten has been studied by research. at

26:00

Harvard and it shows that it reduces

26:02

free radicals caused by BPA in worms,

26:04

which is I guess good. Chlorella

26:06

also can help support detoxification. Probiotics

26:08

also help fully bind to BPA.

26:11

Phthalates, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons like lactobacillus,

26:13

bifidobacterium, saccharomyces bilearti all help your

26:15

gut health, help improve liver function,

26:17

prevent all kinds of stuff from

26:19

going wrong in your body. They

26:21

have great effects on your endocrine

26:23

system. Also you can take other

26:25

supplements like N-acetyl cysteine. I take

26:27

that every day to boost glutathione.

26:30

I also take lipoic acid, which is an

26:32

antioxidant. It helps boost glutathione and you can

26:34

take some fiber supplements like psyllium or just

26:37

take flax seeds or even chia seeds every

26:39

day. All right, so that was a lot,

26:41

right? That was a lot. BPA, microplastics, nanoplastics,

26:43

they're everywhere. The best we can do is

26:45

to reduce our exposure. We can stop using

26:47

this stuff in the environment and industrial production,

26:49

which is probably not going to have any

26:51

time soon, but we should protect ourselves in

26:53

all the ways we talked about and we

26:55

should help our bodies to detoxify. We know

26:57

actually how to upregulate that through food, through

26:59

fiber, through even exercise, sweating, the right supplements, all

27:02

of that can help us detoxify. We'll put links

27:04

to all this in the show notes. Don't

27:06

worry. See if you remember everything. Even though

27:08

our world is riddled with plastics, it doesn't

27:11

mean we have to subject ourselves to their

27:13

harm. There are many things we can do

27:15

to protect our health and the health of

27:17

future generations by basically reducing our exposures and

27:20

getting rid of plastics in our bodies. In

27:22

the meantime, you can do your best to

27:24

detox your home from the plastics, your skincare

27:26

products and replace them with plastic-free alternatives and

27:29

just basically get rid of that stuff from your life.

27:32

Don't fret. We can actually

27:34

detoxify. We can get ourselves to a healthier

27:36

place. We can reduce our exposures. It's one

27:38

of the fundamental principles of functional medicine, which

27:40

is how do we understand the role of

27:42

toxins in our health and how do we

27:44

help our bodies detoxify? I hope you learned

27:46

a lot from today's health bite and we'll
