Microplastics and Your Health


Listen Later

We’re covering six topics you need to know about microplastics and your health.

Earlier this year, the New England Journal of Medicine dropped a bomb of a study that made the world take notice of microplastics and what they’re doing to our health.

It discovered that 58 percent of people having their heart operated on had microplastics in their heart plaque. Importantly, the presence of microplastics in the heart was linked to a 4.5 fold increase of death, heart attack, or stroke.

Microplastics are literally everywhere in our environment—in our food, water, air, and earth.

And new research is showing they’re linked to increase risk of heart disease, brain diseases, liver issues, and more.

Today, we’re diving into microplastics and answering:

* How pervasive they are.

* Where they come from.

* How they enter our bodies.

* How they impact our health.

* Whether you can totally avoid microplastics.

* What we do and don’t know (Two Percent Sanity Sauce).
